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

Grade UKG -1
Number awareness → place value → comparing & ordering numbers

🌈 1. Number Awareness (What is a number?)

🧠 Goal:

Children understand that numbers represent quantity

🍎 Example 1: Fruit Counting

Ask:

● “How many apples?”


● “If I eat one, how many are left?”

➡ They learn that numbers tell how many

🧸 Example 2: Toy Box

Put:

● 3 cars 🚗
● 5 dolls 🧸
Ask:

● “Which has more?”


● “Which has less?”

Example 3: Finger Numbers

Show 6 fingers
Then 4 fingers
Ask: “Which is bigger?”

🔢 2. Place Value (Tens & Ones – Grade 1)

🧠 Goal:

Children understand that


a number is made of tens and ones

🏠 Example: Houses of Numbers

Draw two boxes:

Te One
ns s

🏠 🏠

Number = 23

Put:

● 2 bundles of 10 sticks
● 3 single sticks

Explain:

23 = 2 tens and 3 ones


🍭 Candy Example

Teacher has 14 candies

● Give 10 in a box 🎁
● 4 loose 🍬

So:

14 = 1 ten and 4 ones

3. Comparing Numbers

🧠 Goal:

Children understand bigger, smaller, equal

Animal Size Game


🐭

Compare numbers using animals:

5 🐭 vs 8 🐘
“Which is bigger?”

Explain:

8 is bigger than 5

So:
5<8

🍪 Biscuit Game

Ask:

1. Number awareness:
“How many altogether?” → 34 things
2. Place value:
34 = 3 tens + 4 ones
3. Compare:
Is 34 bigger than 29?
4. Order:
Arrange: 29, 34, 41

Strong Comfort with Addition & Subtraction through Stories & Visuals
🧩 WHY stories + visuals work

Children at this age don’t think in numbers — they think in pictures,


people, food, toys and actions.
So every sum must become a story.

➕ ADDITION through stories

🍎 Story 1: Apple Tree

There are 3 apples on a tree 🍎🍎🍎


2 more apples grow 🌱🍎🍎

Question:
How many apples now?

Show with pictures:


3+2=5

🧸 Story 2: Teddy Party

4 teddies are sitting on a sofa


3 more come to join

Ask:

“How many teddies are there now?”

Children count the pictures.

🚌 Story 3: Bus Stop

2 kids are on a bus


5 more get on
How many kids now?
Draw the bus and people going in.

➖ SUBTRACTION through stories

🍪 Cookie Story

There are 6 cookies 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

🌈 Colour Coding Method

Red = starting number


Green = added
Blue = remaining

Example:
6 (red) − 2 (green) = 4 (blue)

This builds visual memory

🎯 End Goal

Children should think:


“Something came → add”
“Something went → subtract”

Pattern Recognition & Early Logical Reasoning

These activities train the brain to think:


“What comes next?” → “Why?” → “What is the rule?”

🌈 1. Pattern Recognition (Seeing the Rule)

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
Strengthening operator mastery: addition, subtraction, multiplication & division

1. ADDITION ( + ) – Putting Together


Grade 2 Examples

1. Riya has 24 pencils.


Her friend gives her 15 more.
How many pencils does Riya have now?

24 + 15 = 39
2. A basket has 36 apples.
Another basket has 22 apples.
How many apples in total?

36 + 22 = 58

Grade 3 Examples

1. A library has 145 story books and 278 science books.


How many books are there in total?

145 + 278 = 423

2. A school collected 326 kg of paper on Monday and 489 kg on Tuesday.


How much paper was collected in all?

326 + 489 = 815

2. SUBTRACTION ( − ) – Taking Away


Grade 2 Examples

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.


How many boxes are needed?

36 ÷ 6 = 6

Grade 3 Examples

1. 924 books are arranged equally on 7 shelves.


How many books are on each shelf?

924 ÷ 7 = 132

2. 1,200 apples are packed equally into 12 baskets.


How many apples are in each basket?

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:
