Course Content for the Teacher Training Course - VMTTC

Though the course does not aim to teach teaching, it includes advice on teaching, and two teaching projects are part of the course.

The main aim is to present mathematics as a structured, but easy and unified subject. That is to say: the mathematical content is Vedic Maths.

We start at the beginning with basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Various simple and natural devices are introduced that make calculations very easy.

We concentrate on mental maths as well as written work, and various checking devices are used.

In addition to the basic general methods we have special methods in the Vedic system, which enable very tough problems to be solved with ease. This gives confidence as well as creating a sense of fun in maths work.

In addition to the basic operations we cover:

Fractions
Divisibility
Algebra
Solving equations
Squaring; square roots
Transformations
Coordinate geometry
Quadratic equations
Recurring decimals
The Vedic Numerical Code
Etc.

Various historical aspects are also included in the course.
