Introduction

The growing worldwide interest in Vedic mathematics, and the current surge in enthusiasm to have the system taught in schools, has prompted the IAVM to produce this teacher’s handbook. Inspirational Maths from India provides an introduction to Vedic Mathematics. It is divided into two sections, the first for primary teachers and the second for secondary of high school teachers. In each chapter you will find worked examples, where each step is carefully explained, explanations of how the methods work and practice exercises for you to gain ‘hands-on’ experience and so achieve familiarity.
