VEDIC MATH MASTERY BOOT-CAMP
(0-to-Calculus, 60-strip Kumon-style conveyor, every problem solved with at least
one Vedic sutra)
Goal: reflex-level use of Vedic sutras from counting to calculus, timed like Kumon,
error-corrected like Kumon, but never without a sutra label and its mental picture.

DAILY 31-MINUTE ARCHITECTURE
1. 3-min Sūtra Chant – verbal call-and-response of the day’s rule
2. 10-min Speed Strip 1 – 20 problems, Kumon pace (see table)
3. 2-min Instant Check – digit-sum or “last-digit” verification only
4. 5-min Sūtra Proof – draw or gesture why the rule works
5. 10-min Speed Strip 2 – second set, 100 % in time or repeat tomorrow
6. 1-min Parent sign-off

TIMING TARGETS (same paper length as Kumon)
Primer–Alpha 20 facts ≤ 90 s
Beta–Gamma 40 facts ≤ 2 min
Delta–Epsilon 20 probs ≤ 4 min
Zeta–Pre-Alg 20 probs ≤ 5 min
Algebra onward 10 complex ≤ 6 min

ERROR PROTOCOL
1. Circle miss → speak the sūtra name aloud 3× while re-doing mentally
2. Re-attempt 3 similar problems immediately
3. ≥ 1 wrong → repeat entire stripe next day
4. Perfect streak of 3 days → skip one stripe (acceleration)

SŪTRA QUICK-REFERENCE (print on desk)
“Vertically & Crosswise” – all multiplication, fractions, vectors
“All from 9, last from 10” – complements, ×9, percent off
“By One More than the One Before” – counting on, ×11, carries
“Proportionately” – ratios, logs, limits, chain rule
“Transpose & Apply” – division, equations, integration
“By Completion & Non-Completion” – signed numbers, area between curves
“By Mere Observation” – squares, difference of squares, special limits
“Anurupyena” – proportional scaling, cubes
“Paravartya” – simultaneous equations, Cramer seed

DIGITAL LAYER (optional)
- Generate PDF strips with Python → numbers aut change, sutra locked in header
- Anki deck: front = problem, back = sutra name + 2-line mental steps
- 30-s teach-back video per badge → cloud portfolio
Run the 31-minute cycle daily; 60 consecutive badges later the student thinks in
sutras the way a Kumon kid breathes numbers.
