Block 1 Example
Block 1 will be 30 classes for a period of 4 months. Here the outcome is that
the kid would become 4 times quicker and better at Mental Math.
How would we make it 4 times quicker?
First, we would help kids in visualizing the number line in an elaborate
way. Arithmetic is the backbone of Mathematics. We help kids in visualizing
the number line better which in turn makes the kids great in Arithmetic’s.
Example Engage cx by asking this question
21x2 =42 Once cx answers the question, appreciate him. Then tell him that
he answered this because he either knows the tables of 21 by heart or even
if doesn’t he must have added 20+20=40 and 1+1=2 so the total is 42.
Now ask him the 2nd question
5494x9 =?
The cx will not be able to answer. Now tell him Mr. Parent if you are stuck
but obviously even the kid will get stuck and the funniest part is even, I
don’t know the answer. The reason Mr. Parent is not that you and me
cannot answer this question, but we are not able to answer because we
haven’t trained our minds to visualize more than 2 or 3 digits at a stretch
from childhood and when generally a question is asked with a 4 digit, we
normally tend to fall back on using the pen and paper or a calculator. But
here in this Block we help kids to visualize up to 6 to 8 digits without using
any tools or tricks. We completely follow Organic methods, the same
methods followed by Mr. Neelakantha Bhanu when he was a kid.
Block 2
Next set of 45 classes (31 – 75) – Duration 6 Months
Outcome - Strong hold on the Fundamentals of mathematical concepts of
current academics and beyond (UKG to Grade 7 = X+2 at least) (Grade 8 =
X+1 at least) (Grade 9 = X at least).
HOW?
· We focus on strong conceptual learning pedagogy by teaching the
Why’s of Math before the What’s & How’s. This makes the kids
realize how math concepts are applied in the real world around
them.
· We teach through fun story narrations, sparking the right curiosity
and interest level for Math in kids which makes them effective
learners.
· We teach the optimized way of learning by removing the barriers
created by schools in the conceptual learning of the kids because
of the nature of their curriculum.
· 3 Conquest Projects (Based on school academics).
Grade 1
14+-=18
Its simple addition kid will count fingers and answer it's 4.
But twist the question a little bit. 14+x=18
Find the value of x
Why is the kid not able to answer because the kid has not been taught the
concept with x. It's logical reasoning and believe me it's a grade 1 question
of Olympiad.
Grade 2-3
Give Division example
We cover not only division but fractions, decimals, ratio proportion all
together as these are all applications of division. These are generally taught
in different grades but we optimize and teach them so we understand the
concepts in a deeper way.
Half Concept:
½ is half in fraction
0.50 is half in decimals
50% is half in percentage
1:2 is half in Ratio & Proportion
When a kid already knows the meaning of Half then why Fractions/
Decimals/ Percentage/ Ratio & Proportion are taught in different grades.
When we teach Divisions we teach all these topics together so the kid
understands the topic in a deeper way.
Grade 4-6
Algebra example
The kid knows alphabets / numbers and operators from grade 1. Then why
does the kid has to wait till grade 6 to know about Algebra. We optimize the
way of learning by teaching kids that variables stand in the place of
numbers.
How to derive (a+b)²= a² + 2ab + b²?
Pie value 22/7 or 3.14 but why is it 22/7?
Kids in 6th grade learn about the circumference of a circle where the
formula is 2πr. The value of the π is always told as 22/7 in fraction or 3.14
in decimals. But why 22/7 is never taught in school is what we teach them.
Grade7-8
Trigonometry
Ask the parents if they were ever told in school why they were learning
Trigonometry and where they would be using it in their daily life. 99% of
the parents would say no. Then explain
Trigonometry simply means calculations with triangles (that’s where the
tri comes from). It is a study of relationships in mathematics involving
lengths, heights and angles of different triangles.
1. Trigonometry can be used to measure the height of a building or
mountains
2. Trigonometry in construction:
3. Trigonometry used in navigation
We focus on strong conceptual learning pedagogy by teaching the Why’s
of Math before the What’s & How’s. This makes the kids realize how
math concepts are applied in the real world around them.
Block 3
Next set of 75 classes (76 – 150) – Duration 10 to 12 Months
Outcome - Application of Mathematics / Math in Real World
How?
Now at this stage the kid has become quicker and better at speed math,
proficient in math concepts in school academics. Now we teach the kids
the actual mathematical applications in the real world.
By learning Application of Math in the Real World , Kid’s become future
ready to excel in any field of life.
Learning Math as a Life Skill takes you miles ahead in any career.
Math in Technology
Math in Finance
Math in Art & Music
Pro Speed Math (Skilled to compete in nation-wide math Olympiad)
Block 3 has 5 conquest projects including a Mega Project which will be a
direct STEM application.
Eg. Build your own business model
Filing income tax for parents
Write your first AI algorithm
Understanding rhythmic patterns in music
Understanding fixed cost and variable cost using a project
Grade 1/2/3 Algorithm in AI
We Teach Kids how to write their First Algorithm in the Field Of AI and ML
using Maths. An algorithm is a set of instructions for solving a problem or
accomplishing a task.
As simple as How to tie your shoe lace/ How to brush your teeth.
Grade 4/5/6 Math In Finance
We Teach a module called World Of Finance. We help them understand
what is Interest, tax etc.
Eg: I am sure Mr. Parents, you would give some money to your every month
to fill their piggy bank. In this case the piggy bank will only have money
that you have collected, we teach them how it could grow if you deposit the
same in the bank.
Grade 7/8 Your kid will be in a position to build her own business
model
We teach kids how to create their own Biz model.
The basic factors involved in creating a biz plan are
v Capital
v Different type of Costs
v Understanding Of Break Even Point
Profit/ Loss
Reducing interest mortgage
We also teach understanding of fixed and variable cost using a project

Introduction to how numbers originated & how computers see numbers
PART 1: How Numbers Were Born
UKG – Story: The Shepherd and His Sheep
Long ago, there was a shepherd who had sheep.
Every morning, his sheep went out to eat grass.
Every evening, they came back home.
To make sure no sheep was lost, the shepherd used stones.
Each sheep = one stone
If he had 5 sheep, he kept 5 stones.
If one stone was missing, he knew one sheep was missing.
So numbers were created to count and keep things safe.
Fingers and Objects
Before numbers were written, people used:
● Fingers
● Sticks
● Pebbles
Three apples = three fingers = three stones
This is how counting started.
PART 2: From Marks to Numbers (Grade 1)
People began making marks to count things.
Objects Mark Number
s s
🍎🍎🍎
🐶🐶🐶🐶
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Later, these marks became numbers:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 …
Numbers made counting faster and easier.
PART 3: How Computers See Numbers
Tell children:
A computer does not understand words.
It only understands two things:
YES = 1
NO = 0
This is called Binary.
Light Switch Example
Ligh Computer
t sees
ON 1
OFF 0
ON – OFF – ON
=1–0–1
= 101
Door Example
Door Compute
r
Open 1
Close 0
d
Open – Closed – Closed
=1–0–0
= 100
PART 4: How Computers Count
Normal Computer
Number (Binary)
1 1
2 10
3 11
4 100
5 101
Computers use only 1s and 0s to make all numbers.
PART 5: Classroom Game
Teacher says:
● Clap = 1
● No clap = 0
Teacher shows:
Clap – No clap – Clap
Children say:
1–0–1
So the computer number is 101
What Children Learn
● Numbers were made to count real things
● People used stones, marks, and fingers
● Computers use 1 and 0
● Math connects to technology
Grade 2-3

1. There are 58 balloons.
23 balloons are burst.
How many balloons are left?
58 − 23 = 35
2. A shop has 90 chocolates.
It sells 46 chocolates.
How many chocolates remain?
90 − 46 = 44
Grade 3 Examples
1. A farmer harvested 864 mangoes.
He sold 379 mangoes.
How many mangoes are left?
864 − 379 = 485
2. A train had 750 passengers.
468 got down.
How many passengers are still on the train?
750 − 468 = 282
3. MULTIPLICATION ( × ) – Equal Groups
Grade 2 Examples
1. There are 6 boxes.
Each box has 4 chocolates.
How many chocolates in all?
6 × 4 = 24
2. There are 8 tables.
Each table has 5 chairs.
How many chairs are there?
8 × 5 = 40
Grade 3 Examples
1. A classroom has 18 rows.
Each row has 24 students.
How many students are there?
18 × 24 = 432
2. A factory packs 125 toys in one truck.
How many toys are packed in 8 trucks?
125 × 8 = 1000
4. DIVISION ( ÷ ) – Sharing or Grouping
Grade 2 Examples
1. 20 sweets are shared among 5 children.
How many sweets does each child get?
20 ÷ 5 = 4
2. 36 pencils are packed in boxes of 6.

1200 ÷ 12 = 100
Key Learning for Students
● Addition means total
● Subtraction means difference
● Multiplication means repeated addition
● Division means equal sharing
When students master these four operators, they can solve any real-life math
problem.
Intuitive understanding of fractions & decimals through visual models
1. What is a Fraction?
A fraction is a part of a whole.
When we cut something into equal parts, each part is called a fraction.
Example:
If a pizza is cut into 4 equal parts and we take 1 part, we say:
1 out of 4 = 1⁄4
2. Visual Models for Fractions
Grade 2 Examples
Example 1: Apple
An apple is cut into 2 equal parts.
One part is taken.
That part is called 1⁄2 (one half).
Example 2: Chocolate Bar
A chocolate bar has 4 equal pieces.
You eat 1 piece.
You ate 1⁄4 of the chocolate.
Example 3: Circle Model
A circle is divided into 4 equal parts.
If 2 parts are shaded, it shows 2⁄4, which is the same as 1⁄2.
Grade 3 Examples
Example 1: Pizza
A pizza is cut into 8 equal slices.
If 3 slices are eaten, the fraction eaten is 3⁄8.
Example 2: Paper Strip
A strip of paper is divided into 10 equal parts.
If 7 parts are coloured, the fraction is 7⁄10.
3. What is a Decimal?
A decimal is another way to show a fraction.
Decimals show parts of a whole using a dot.
4. Visual Link Between Fractions and Decimals
Fractio Meaning Decima
n l
1⁄2 Half of a whole 0.5
1⁄4 One out of four 0.25
3⁄4 Three out of 0.75
four
1⁄10 One out of ten 0.1
5. Visual Models for Decimals
Grade 2
Use a strip divided into 10 boxes.
If 3 boxes are shaded, it means:
3 out of 10 = 3⁄10 = 0.3
Grade 3
A square is divided into 100 small boxes.
If 25 boxes are coloured:
25⁄100 = 0.25
6. Money Model
100 paise = 1 rupee
50 paise = 50⁄100 = 0.50 rupee
25 paise = 25⁄100 = 0.25 rupee
This helps children connect decimals to real life.
7. Fraction to Decimal Thinking
Half of a pizza = 1⁄2
Half of 1 rupee = 50 paise = 0.5
So,
1⁄2 = 0.5
What Children Learn
● Fractions show parts of a whole
● Decimals are another way to write fractions
● Pictures, food, and money help children understand better
● Fractions and decimals are used in daily life
Basics of money & finance to build real-life mathematical reasoning
1. Understanding Money
Money is used to buy things we need and want.
We use rupees (₹) and paise.
100 paise = 1 rupee
Examples:
50 paise = 0.50 rupee
25 paise = 0.25 rupee
2. Recognising Coins and Notes
Children should be able to recognise:
₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10 coins
₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100 notes
3. Adding Money
Grade 2
Riya has a ₹10 coin and a ₹20 note.
How much money does she have?
10 + 20 = 30
She has ₹30.
Grade 3
A pencil costs ₹18 and a notebook costs ₹27.
How much money is needed?
18 + 27 = 45
Total = ₹45
4. Subtracting Money (Finding Change)
Grade 2
A toy costs ₹15.
Ravi gives ₹20.
How much change will he get?
20 − 15 = 5
Ravi gets ₹5 back.
Grade 3
A book costs ₹68.
Meera gives ₹100.
How much change will she receive?
100 − 68 = 32
Change = ₹32
5. Saving Money
Saving means keeping money for future use.
If a child saves ₹10 every day,
in 5 days the saving is:
10 × 5 = 50
Savings = ₹50
6. Spending Wisely
If you have ₹50 and buy a toy for ₹35,
money left is:
50 − 35 = 15
You still have ₹15
7. Simple Budgeting (Grade 3)
A child has ₹100.
He wants to buy:
● A book for ₹45
● A pen for ₹20
Total spent:
45 + 20 = 65
Money left:
100 − 65 = 35
So, ₹35 is saved.
8. Multiplication with Money
One chocolate costs ₹6.
How much do 8 chocolates cost?
6 × 8 = 48
Total cost = ₹48
9. Division with Money
₹60 is shared equally among 5 children.
How much does each child get?
60 ÷ 5 = 12
Each child gets ₹12
What Children Learn
● How to count money
● How to add and subtract money
● How to save and spend
● How math helps in daily shopping
● How to make simple budgets
Introduction to binary numbers to strengthen logic and tech literacy
1. What is Binary?
A computer does not think like a human.
It only understands two things:
ON = 1
OFF = 0
This system is called Binary.
Binary means two.
2. Real-Life Examples
Thing 1 0
Light ON OFF
Door Open Closed
Fan On Off
Switch Up Down
Computers read everything using these two states.
3. How Computers Count
We use:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 …
Computers use only 1s and 0s.
Our Number Binary
1 1
2 10
3 11
4 100
5 101
6 110
7 111
8 1000
4. Visual Block Model
Use blocks:
One block = 1
No block = 0
Example:
Block – No block – Block = 101
This means the number 5.
5. Grade 2 Activity
Teacher says:
● Clap = 1
● No clap = 0
Teacher shows:
Clap – Clap – No clap
Children write:
1 – 1 – 0 = 110
6. Grade 3 Activity
Teacher gives a pattern:
1011
Students say the binary number is 1011
Explain:
Computers read this to make pictures, music, games, and videos.
7. Where Binary is Used
Binary is used in:
● Mobile phones
● Computers
● Games
● TVs
● Internet
Everything digital is made from 1s and 0s.
What Children Learn
● Computers use a special number system
● Binary has only two numbers: 1 and 0
● Binary builds logic and pattern thinking
● Math connects to technology
Mastering PEMDAS and multi-step problem solving
1. What is PEMDAS?
PEMDAS tells us the order in which we solve math problems.
P – Parentheses
E – Exponents (not used in Grade 2–3)
M – Multiplication
D – Division
A – Addition
S – Subtraction
We always solve from left to right after Parentheses.
2. Simple Understanding for Children
PEMDAS means:
“Do the work inside the brackets first,
then multiply or divide,
then add or subtract.”
3. Grade 2 Examples
Example 1
8+4×2
First multiply:
4×2=8
Now add:
8 + 8 = 16
Example 2
(6 + 4) × 3
First the brackets:
6 + 4 = 10
Now multiply:
10 × 3 = 30
Example 3
20 − 10 ÷ 5
First divide:
10 ÷ 5 = 2
Now subtract:
20 − 2 = 18
4. Grade 3 Examples
Example 1
18 + 6 × 4
First multiply:
6 × 4 = 24
Now add:
18 + 24 = 42
Example 2
(15 + 5) ÷ 4
First brackets:
15 + 5 = 20
Then divide:
20 ÷ 4 = 5
Example 3
40 − 8 × 3
Multiply first:
8 × 3 = 24
Subtract:
40 − 24 = 16
5. Multi-Step Word Problems
Grade 2
A box has 5 bags.
Each bag has 4 chocolates.
3 chocolates are eaten.
How many chocolates are left?
Step 1: Total chocolates
5 × 4 = 20
Step 2: Subtract eaten
20 − 3 = 17
Grade 3
There are 8 boxes.
Each box has 12 apples.
24 apples are sold.
How many apples remain?
Step 1: Total apples
8 × 12 = 96
Step 2: Apples left
96 − 24 = 72
6. Why PEMDAS is Important
Without PEMDAS, we may get wrong answers.
Example:
8+4×2
If we add first:
(8 + 4) × 2 = 24 ❌
Correct way:
8 + (4 × 2) = 16 ✔
So order matters.
What Children Learn
● How to solve problems in the right order
● How to think step by step
● How to solve real-life math questions
● How to avoid mistakes
Early exposure to patterns, measurement, and Common Core +2 levels
PART 1: Pattern Thinking (Building Algebra Readiness)

1. Percentages
Percentages express a part of a whole out of 100.
Grade 7 Examples
1. Find 25% of 200
25% × 200 = (25/100) × 200 = 50
2. A class has 40 students, 15 are girls. What percent are girls?
(15/40) × 100 = 37.5%
3. Increase 80 by 20%
20% of 80 = 16 → 80 + 16 = 96
Grade 8 Examples
1. Decrease 250 by 15%
15% of 250 = 37.5 → 250 − 37.5 = 212.5
2. A product costs $480 after 20% discount. Find original price.
Let original price = x
x − 0.2x = 480 → 0.8x = 480 → x = 600
3. Compound percentage problem:
A sum of $100 grows by 10% per year. After 2 years:
Year 1: 100 + 10% = 110
Year 2: 110 + 10% = 121
2. Ratios & Proportions
Ratios compare two quantities. Proportion shows equality of two
ratios.
Grade 7 Examples
1. Divide 60 in the ratio 2:3
Total parts = 2+3=5 → Each part = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
2 parts = 24, 3 parts = 36 → 24:36
2. Ratio of boys to girls is 4:5, 36 girls. How many boys?
5 parts = 36 → 1 part = 36 ÷ 5 = 7.2 → Boys = 4 × 7.2 = 28.8 ≈ 29
Grade 8 Examples
1. A map scale shows 1:50,000. Distance on map = 8 cm. Actual
distance?
8 × 50,000 = 400,000 cm = 4 km
2. Mix juice and water in ratio 3:5. Total = 64 L. How much juice?
3+5=8 parts → 1 part = 64 ÷ 8 = 8 → Juice = 3 × 8 = 24 L
