Why we need wheels

of mathematics

A flair for numbers: The

most obvious thing we bring to
the table. Learn the art of
calculating numbers in your
head. So dump your calculators
in a dustbin.
Children understanding
Mathematics:
Understanding and applying a
mathematical technique is
always more important.
Children solve problems that
are more analytical than
formula based, which helps in
Olympiads and other exams.

Learn Fast Calculations:

Learn to multiply numbers,
division, squaring,
logarithms, rattle off
calendar dates,
trigonometric ratios, square
roots, higher roots of large
numbers and much more
inside your head.

Solving Problems
beyond the textbook:
Applying concepts we learn
in the class in tougher
problems, which helps in
competitive exams.
Constant One-on-one
interaction: All students
connected through a
facebook group where
problems will be posted and
discussed. Students can post
any problems they face
anytime. The group will be
active even after the course
ends.

An investigatory
approach: Children should be
encouraged to explore realworld problems through handson activities.
