[KennethWilliams]

Please post here your questions regarding Assignment 2.

[Seth Kinkade]

Ken, in preparation for assignment 2 and as well as to improve my current lessons, can you suggest any resources for word problems that can be used in demonstrations and lessons? Thank you!

[KennethWilliams]

Seth, There must be plenty of such resources available on the internet and they can be adapted to whatever topic needs them.

Hi mr. Ken,

I am thinking to cover 10 point circle, deficiency from 10, by addition and by subtraction , casting out 9, and digit sum puzzles. At this point I do not know  how long will the class/session be for my recording. Does it feel too much?  My students are going to be my 9 year old and 19 year old sons and my husband. I will need your guidance on this.

Thank you,

Hi Savita,

It’s an introduction to VM so aim to impress. Squaring numbers that end in 5, multiplying numbers near a base, division by 9, adding and subtacting fractions would be good alternatives (see lesson 20).

[Preeti Pathak]

Thank you, Ken. I was considering some of these topics for the assignment.

[Preeti Pathak]

That’s nice Savita .Actually,  Lot of topics to choose from.

[Savita P Kulkarni]

Thank you Preeti and Ken for your suggestions. Will consider these topics while prepping for the lesson plan.

Ken,

I have submitted the assignment on 14th march. Its still under review. Can you please let me know by when can I get the result and proceed further? Thank you.

[KennethWilliams]

Hi Amara,

It will be at least another week before the final results are published by the Pasyanthi Team.

[Amara Deepthi]

Dear Ken,

I have already submitted my assignment on 14th March. It’s already been a week. Now the order in the course material has changed. If I see the status of my assignment, it says go back to previous lesson (Not showing either awaiting approval or my assignment review is done). Can you please clarify? I am not understanding what happened to my submitted assignment?

Dear Ken,

I also would like to join for the Advanced Diploma course. Can you please let me know when it will commence?

Thank you.

[KennethWilliams]

Dear Amara,

The Advanced course starts in one week – on 29th March.

You will hear shortly regarding assignments.

[Satya]

Is there a template to submit assignment-2 like we had for assignment-1 or can we just report it in our own word document?

Please excuse if this information has already been provided but I couldn’t find it hence asking here.

Thank you

[KennethWilliams]

Hi Satya,

In the list of lessons, just before lesson 1 there is a link “VM-Download Materials”.

The template can be downloaded from there, it’s at the top of the list.

[Satya]

Got it. Thank you

[Shikha Dhingra]

Hi Ken

During presentation if some one ask about the minimum age of child for learning vedic maths and also the little child can get confused between the method taught at school and vedic maths , what should be the answer ? The older child can understand the two different methods of calculations easily. I think the parents concern is right. Pls clarify.

Thanks

[KennethWilliams]

Hi Shikha,

These points were addressed. There is not really any minimum age: at the beginning the child simply enjoys having fun with numbers, the more specific methods taught in this course can be started around age 8 years. I also mentioned about Vera Stevens.

The confusion you mention was explained in lesson 9. For a young child teaching should not be by rote – if it is approached as a fun activity it will be accepted gladly. The rigid approach to teaching must go – there is no right or wrong way.

[Savita P Kulkarni]

Hi Mr. Ken,

For the second assignment, are we to submit a recording of me teaching with the written report ?

Thank you,

 

[KennethWilliams]

No, there is no need to send a recording Savita.
