About this series
Mathematics is a tricky subject. Those who love, enjoy it much and those who don't, feel it's boring. I lost interest in mathematics while in 7th class. Based on what I remember, it was mainly due to lack of understanding of negative numbers. By nature, I am kinaesthetic person and therefore I refuse to accept anything unless understood thoroughly. Generally, just memorization doesn't work for me and the same thing happened about multiplication of negative numbers. Our teacher presented them as rules and I refused to accept them at face value. One year later my cousin grandfather started living with us and he had great interest in teaching. Moreover, his concepts in mathematics were extremely clear and he could answer all my crazy questions. This retriggered my interest in mathematics. The whole journey was so joyful that I wish everyone gets a grandfather like him who is at home to help with fundamental questions in studies.
Later, when I was in 9th I was introduced to Vedic Math by my close friend. At that time, I thoroughly enjoyed it and started using it to an extend where I completely forgot methods taught in the school. Few years back I started taking courses in Vedic math and I repeatedly received questions about relevance of the course in school. Even though these methods cannot be directly used in school today, some of the methods are being included in school curriculum and therefore I decided to author books as per the curriculum.
While developing Vedic Math book for a particular class I realized that numbers being abstract, it's also important to explain some of the concepts through art and craft. Therefore, I decided to also add Creative Math as a part of this book. This is because learning is much more effective through Activities and Games for many.
When I started thinking about developing books as per the curriculum, next question was which board to follow. After a bit of research, I got to know that CBSE is most popular board in India and therefore I decided to develop Vedic Math books for CBSE curriculum. Finally, I had a choice of developing books from class I and I decided to develop books for secondary school first. I first published a book for class 8 and received very good response. Therefore, we released 2nd edition of 'Vedic Math for 8th Class'. Now I am pleased to release Vedic and Creative Math for 7th Class.
The structure of this book and sequence of CBSE syllabus is not the same and it is intentional. The book is divided into three sections. Section I is to learn basic principles, section II is for application of principles and section III covers Creative Geometry. Section I is mostly to explain the methods and it is important to refer section II to confirm that concepts are understood and ability to apply concepts is developed in pupils. Section III mainly uses Creative Math to explain concepts of geometry. It is fun to learn geometry in this manner rather than conventional method.
The book is designed in such a way that all required methods from Vedic Math are covered here and the student need not refer to any other book to learn the basics. Additionally, numbers (data) are represented in pictorial format or charts wherever appropriate. This certainly simplifies the learning. Geometry is explained through activities and this makes the learning very simple and easy to retain. The key focus of this book is Fractions, Decimals and Integers. I am confident that this is fun and joyful journey to all the students and their parents.

Mathematics is a tricky subject. Those who love, enjoy it much and those who don't, feel it's boring. I lost interest in mathematics while in 7th class. Based on whatever I remember, it was mainly due to a lack of understanding of negative numbers. By nature, I am a kinaesthetic person and therefore I refuse to accept anything unless understood thoroughly. Generally, just memorization doesn't work for me and the same thing happened to the multiplication of negative numbers. Our teacher presented them as rules and I refused to accept them at face value. One year later my cousin's grandfather started living with us and he had a great interest in teaching. Moreover, his concepts in mathematics were extremely clear and he could answer all my crazy questions. This retriggered my interest in mathematics. The whole journey was so joyful that I wish everyone get a grandfather like him who is at home to help with fundamental questions in studies. When I started thinking about developing books as per the curriculum, the next question was which board to follow. After a bit of research, I got to know that CBSE is the most popular board in India and therefore I decided to develop Vedic Math books for the CBSE curriculum. Finally, I had a choice of developing books from class I and I decided to develop the first book for class VIII. Class VIII is the foundation for board exams and therefore I felt this is the right time to start strengthening our knowledge, skills, and abilities. The book is designed in such a way that all required methods from Vedic math are covered here and the student need not refer to any other book to learn the basics. Secondly, numbers (data) are represented in pictorial format or charts wherever appropriate. This certainly simplifies the learning. I have explained principles wherever relevant. This shall help the pupil to understand them further and apply them confidently.
- Vedic Math - Mental Math for Everyone: Vedic Math, #2
2
Vedic Math is simple and easy way of mathematics. It is mental and therefore 2 to 5 times faster than conventional methods. It is also very helpful in competitive exams. Vedic math has only 16 main formulae and these formulae cover most of the methods. Therefore, the methods are repeatable and easy to understand. Vedic math is also helpful to quickly check answers. It was invented by Shankaracharya Shree Bharathi Krushna Teerthaji Maharaj. This book is second in its series. It is an attempt to structure Vedic Math as per school curriculum. You may enjoy Vedic math and the series of books. This book covers methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
- Creative Math for Class - 3: Vedic Math, #3

Math can be interesting if played, acted or crafted. It shall be taught in such manner to kids so that they can enjoy it. Even though math is created by humans it is everywhere around us and if we feel it then it can be a part of our daily life. This book follows similar method to teach basic math. It teaches addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in a fun way through acting, drawing and craft that all of us can enjoy.

It's interesting to see and experience how kids learn. It's also interesting to develop something that kids enjoy. Mathematics is manmade subject. Some kids get it quickly and some of them don't. When we were in school the learning was more Verbal and now days it is more Visual. In fact, kids are more kinaesthetic and they enjoy doing and feeling something all the time. Due to this some kids don't enjoy school. Math is an abstract topic and it's also challenging to develop interesting activities for math. Traditional Indian math was action based and has few activity-based methods. Therefore, I have also included few Vedic methods in this course. Because such methods also link children to Vedic math, this may help to transition easily to mental math. If your son or daughter is hyper active then he might enjoy activities more than anything else. Similarly, if your kid is Shy then she might want to experience more. Therefore, for both such kids, activity-based learning is essential. This book is totally activity based and may suit to such kids very well. Every arithmetic operation is done using some activity like drawing or acting. Some of the activities are also paper based. Caution has been taken to ensure that you may cover all the activities with things easily available at home so you need not buy anything specific for these activities. I also added mental math methods in the program to introduce the children to mental math. This book also covers tips and tricks for International Math Olympiad or IMO. It is best suited for kids in class 2. The book mainly consists of simple and easy methods of addition, subtraction, multiplication and basic division. This book also covers multiplication tables. Addition and subtraction is covered up to 4 digits. Multiplication tables are covered till 10 and multiplication of 2-digit numbers is covered as well. Division by numbers up to 10 is covered. I am confident that this is fun and joyful journey to all the students and their parents. I wish you all the best for more love towards mathematics.

Gaurish Borkar
Mr. Gaurish Borkar was first introduced to Vedic astrology when he was a teen and got his first degree in astrology when he was just 14. He comes from a traditional family and his grandfather Shree. Haribhau Borkar was well known astrologer from Goa India. Even though Gaurish could not get much guidance from his grandfather as he died when Gaurish was too young, inherited knowledge was always in the blood. Gaurish got guidance from his cousin grandfather for next few years. After practicing Vedic astrology successfully for more than 6 years, Gaurish realized that just ability of accurate prediction is not good enough but ability to provide a solution is more important. Therefore, he started learning various remedial measures like Reiki, gemmology, hypnosis and NLP along with traditional remedial measures. He started his practice of Vedic astrology again after studying various remedial measures for more than 16 years. Now days he enjoys to evolve people and help them to achieve their goals, rather than just predicting their future.
