Why parents need to push kids for extra-curricular activities?



http://www.lifelystudent.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/1316AgesSeptember.jpg 

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. This very famous proverb that clearly signifies that a person must involve into activities that break the monotony of a regular work, else he may become boring and unexciting. Same goes for kids. If kids are put to study all the time, their results won’t be as productive. Instead, they’ll feel the pressure more than it really is and would perform poorly. On the other hand when kids are introduced to extra-curricular activities and are encouraged by parents (or teachers), they develop skills that aren’t learnt otherwise inside the classroom.

Extra-curricular activities add to a personality of the child positively. Here are the many outcomes of kids being involved in extra-curricular activities-

·         Become smart and confident
·         Develop a spirit of healthy competition
·         Build a social identity
·         Perform individually and in a team
·         Become patient and calm
·         Learns to manage time

Supplementary education today is more like an extra-curricular activity that incorporates certain skills in kids without exposing them to routine classrooms. It focuses on developing their overall personality rather than merely focusing on their academic scores. To take a supplementary course that benefits students in innumerable ways, contact Master Mind Vedic Maths. To put kids into playing mathematical games, choose Naughty Maths today.

Naughty Maths- Placement Tests



 
 
Naughty Maths is a program designed to suit the needs of children in subject ‘Mathematics’. It is open for school kids, specifically for students in standard 2 to 6. This 100% game based maths tutoring program is bliss for students as it never makes them feel as if they are studying.

But, before commencing with the Naughty Maths program, we conduct ‘placement tests’ for each student to identify his/her level of understanding. For example, if we have a student walking in to enroll for our program, we would first check if he is able to perform addition (and subtraction) thoroughly ‘up to 5’.

If not, we place the student in classes he/she would be trained on performing calculations up to 5. If he/she is good on calculating till 5, we test him/her for calculations ‘up to 10’. And then we follow the same method of placing students for their need-specific course. This process is continued to check the calculating abilities of children ‘up to 20’ and then placing them in the course accordingly.

To take a ‘placement test’ for your child and help him/her start at a level that is most suitable, drop in at your nearest Naughty Maths center today!

How can parents make kids solve maths with ease?



http://www.mastermindvedicmaths.com/images/naughtymaths.png
This question has seemingly been a major concern for both parents and students all across the globe- “How to make maths easy?” Apparently, most of them would know how, but find it difficult to implement into practice.

In this blog are a few suggested strategies to be followed by parents and help their kids excel in the subject ‘mathematics’.

1.       Maths in the form of fun games

Right when the child is about to build an educational base, it becomes crucial for you to pay ‘extra’ attention to how he/she learns. Adapt games while practicing maths. Kids have a tendency to get attracted to colors, vibrant and animated platforms. When kids solve sums on maths games, they take it as play and not as practice or study. This is how they perform better and pass through difficult levels of solving problems with ease

2.       Evaluate the progress and reward them

Kids learn better when they are motivated. The same old monotonous method of solving maths questions will only make them reluctant to study. Decide upon certain milestones for your child’s progress and immediately when he/she reaches there, reward him/her with gifts (not necessarily educational). This will make the child energetic and enthusiastic to practice more maths

3.       Apply maths into reality

Help your child count the steps while walking to a grocery shop, make him/her exchange currency with the retailer. Ask the child to read the clock, calculate time backwards and forward. Such activities not only aids kids in dealing with numbers efficiently, but also activate their brain to take them ahead of the masses.

Try these methods and observe your child develop a love for mathematics as a subject. Hopefully, learning maths would then be less stressful and more joyous for your kid. Play mathematical games for children at Naughty Maths!

4 Myths about Mathematics


We should not be surprised that a large number of people have prejudice for mathematics and develop some beliefs against it. Possibly, certain negative instances have even made a few of us believe on the myths about Mathematics.

These myths are mostly not correct, or just partially correct. And most of the people so never really understand the importance and use of Math. The 5 most common myths about mathematics are listed under:

1.      People are born with math skills
Majority of the masses are not good in math. They feel disinterested, have fear and think its complex. Consequently, they believe that those who are good in math have inborn abilities to solve numerical problems.

But this belief is incorrect. Everything that we do in life is an outcome of what we learn. Likewise, performing math correctly depends on how we learn it. We cannot blame external factors for what we achieve. It’s their adaptability, agility and alertness that makes them grasps math concepts.

2.      Mathematics is based on intuitions
Intuition has absolutely no link with solving mathematical problems. Math is solely based on following a logical approach and it is a science that needs reasoning to derive solutions. The profound knowledge of mathematics can never be acquired by intuitions.

We have to use our intelligence and logic simultaneously to successfully solve the problem. Each formula has its significance and cannot be applied anywhere like firing arrows blind folded, just because one has an intuition that it would be correct.

3.      Math is based on having a good memory
Solving math problems does not depend on how good your memory is, instead on how well you can conceptualize. It is practically impossible to by heart all the formulas for various topics and no one is such a whiz to remember them all.

But, the ability to make use of the right concept is the art that can take you miles on the path of attaining math success.

4.      There is some shortcut to learn math
One should realize that there are no magic tricks involved for solving mathematical questions, neither are there any shortcuts. The fundamentals of mathematics should be clear as they are the building blocks of higher level studies.

The only way to ensure math success is that makes genuine efforts to learn the basics and advanced concepts. Also, getting over the negative viewpoints is essential to utilize your caliber to the full.


To get well versed with mathematics and its methods, pick the Vedic math course at Master Mind. Learn Vedic math tricks and math formulas that ensure to improve your academic performance in math.

Faces of a Math Teacher

A teacher has an essential role to play in shaping the futures of children. Mathematics being a crucial subject requires an efficient teacher to teach the students. A successful math teacher is the one who can educate students in such a way that their results are visible in quantitative terms.

                       

The math teacher has several faces while he/she educates the children. They are:

·         Math teacher as a GUIDE
It is a teacher’s responsibility to plan and execute lessons in a way that they are understandable for the child and easy to grasp. He is the one who instructs the children and guides them into learning what is being taught. Also, clarifying all the doubts every time and suggesting simplified methods for better understanding of mathematical concepts and procedures, is the prime responsibility of a math teacher.

·         Math teacher as a MOTIVATOR
Students can easily be motivated or discouraged for their performance. As a math teacher it is your responsibility to motivate the child for every achievement. Even small piece of encouraging actions like asking the class to applause when the child solves the question correctly can be motivating. On the other hand, supporting the child to cope up with the difficult topics will equally help.

·         Math teacher as a VISIONARY
A math teacher as a visionary should have the analytic ability to visualize the strengths and weaknesses of every individual student. This makes them structure useful plans to be adopted while teaching math, considering the grasping levels of all the students. This guarantees improved scores and results.

·         Math teacher as a STUDENT
A caring and selfless math teacher is the one who places himself into the shoes of the students and try to analyze all the problems that may arise while studying. This thorough analysis helps them teach the students starting from building the basics and thus proceeding to the complex part of the problems.

·         Math teacher as a DISCIPLINARY
In case the child becomes stubborn on learning math and its concepts and is unwilling to understand them intentionally, then the teacher has to be strict to ensure that studies are never compromised. If required disciplinary actions should be taken so that the students gain knowledge through serious and dedicated efforts. After all the teaching approach should be result oriented thereby enhancing the students’ performance in mathematics.

Share this with your friends if you agree!

Vedic math trainers at Master Mind have all the skills required and play these roles by molding themselves according to situations. They teach Vedic math tricks to gain expertise on mental math and thus become proficient in the subject.

Does ‘personal attention’ count for students?



Teachers are a driving force for students. They have an integral role to play in shaping the child’s career. Personal attention from a teacher is the strongest factor that motivates a student to excel in his/her studies.

It is a teacher’s responsibility to give personal attention to every student because only then can they teach effectively in a class and attain higher success ratio. A teacher’s success is measured as per the performance of students’ in his/her class.

Results of Personal Attention

Giving personal attention to students will always bring out their best. It should therefore never be neglected. The effects of personal attention may not be spoken of, but can certainly be observed as it:

1.      Builds an undefined bonding between the teacher and pupils creating an ambience of faith
2.      Develops a feeling of belongingness inside a classroom
3.      Helps overcome all the weaknesses as the student’s are regularly motivated
4.      Makes student more interactive and outspoken
5.      Involves more participation of students increasing the scope of concentration
6.      Improves grades in examinations and competitions
7.      Makes learning an experience that can be cherished.

How do we ensure personal attention in our course?

One of our major requisite to start any batch of Vedic mathematics is that we admit only 12 to 15 students in a class. This way we make sure that all our students are given equal attention by the teacher. Hence it is convenient for the teacher to evaluate them better and adopt methods that are easy to understand.

To safeguard your future, put yourself into the Vedic maths course at Master Mind. Learn math formulas and tricks direct from the trainer.

Patience: the key to success in Mathematics



Impatience is a feel or a state of mind that obstructs an individual to reach his/her desired goals. It becomes a part of a personality that restricts him/her to overcome panicking situations. Patient people are more positive and successful in all the courses of life as they ‘reason’ things and not react to situations. It also gets implied on studies, especially on subjects like mathematics.

Mathematics is a subject that involves dealing with large complex numbers, and requires high level of patience, stability and coordination between the mental activities. For ensuring success in math, it becomes essential for an individual to be patient while solving mathematical problems.

How can one increase their patience level?

Cited are the ways by which one can attain higher level of patience and thus benefit by increasing their scholastic grades:

1.      Develop a will to stay calm
Impatience can sometimes be considered as a choice. If you are strong enough to stay calm and don’t react negatively on situations, you will automatically become patient. Self-control is what you require. Try to eradicate panic from the regularly occurring events of life.

2.      Go slow!
Doing thing hurriedly or in a rush will not help every time. Think before you act. Every decision or choice you make should be well-thought and an outcome of rationality. Avoid offending yourself and others with your actions.

3.      Get distracted
Here, distraction means different. If anything drives you in a state of panic, try to discover ways that will distract you from getting more into it. It may be listening to music, moving into a peaceful space or sometimes referring to the very basics.

Vedic Maths course at Master Mind is based on ancient methods and so imbibes high level of patience in pupils. Enroll today and experience other benefits like learning to practice mental math and speed math.
