 *Basic kid's Mental Maths* 


 *Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division of one-digit numbers using Vedic Mathematics techniques:* 


1. Vedic Addition of One-Digit Numbers:


In Vedic Math, addition is very straightforward, but for speed, we focus on carryover when the sum of the digits exceeds 9.


Example 1:


6 + 7 = ?


Step 1: Add the numbers directly: 6 + 7 = 13.


Step 2: Write 3 in the ones place (result), and 1 is the carryover.


Answer: 13 (The carryover of 1 will be added to the next digit, if applicable).




Example 2:


4 + 8 = ?


Step 1: Add the numbers: 4 + 8 = 12.


Step 2: Write 2 in the ones place, carry 1 to the next column.


Answer: 12.


2. Vedic Subtraction of One-Digit Numbers:


In Vedic Math, subtraction can often be faster using 9’s complement or direct subtraction when borrowing is not needed.


Example 1: Basic Subtraction


9 - 4 = ?


Step 1: Subtract the numbers directly: 9 - 4 = 5.


Answer: 5.




Example 2: Subtraction with Borrowing (Complementary Method)


7 - 8 = ?


Step 1: Here, the number is smaller than the number you're subtracting from. Use the 9's complement method.


Step 2: Find the 9's complement of 8. The complement of 8 is 1 (since 9 - 8 = 1).


Step 3: Find the complement of 7. The complement of 7 is 2 (since 9 - 7 = 2).


Step 4: Add the complements: 1 + 2 = 3. The result is -1.


Answer: -1.




Example 3: Simple Subtraction without Borrowing


9 - 5 = ?


Step 1: Subtract directly: 9 - 5 = 4.


Answer: 4.



3. Vedic Multiplication of One-Digit Numbers:


For one-digit multiplication, Vedic Mathematics uses direct multiplication and vertical and crosswise methods for more complex multiplications.


Example 1: Direct Multiplication


3 × 5 = ?


Step 1: Multiply directly: 3 × 5 = 15.


Answer: 15.




Example 2: Multiplying by 9


When multiplying by 9, Vedic Math uses a trick where the result can be found quickly.


9 × 4 = ?


Step 1: Subtract the number being multiplied from 10.


10 - 4 = 6.



Step 2: The first digit is 6.


Step 3: The second digit is found by subtracting the number from 9: 9 - 4 = 5.


Step 4: The answer is 36.


Answer: 36.


Example 3: Multiplication using the Vertical and Crosswise Method


For a one-digit multiplication example, this method might seem overkill but is a good practice for multi-digit numbers.


6 × 7 = ?


Step 1: Multiply directly: 6 × 7 = 42.


Answer: 42.



4. Vedic Division of One-Digit Numbers:


Vedic Math uses a short division method for dividing smaller numbers.


Example 1: Simple Division


8 ÷ 4 = ?


Step 1: Divide directly: 8 ÷ 4 = 2.


Answer: 2.


Example 2: Division with Remainder


9 ÷ 4 = ?


Step 1: Divide: 9 ÷ 4 = 2 (with remainder).


Step 2: The quotient is 2, and the remainder is 1.


Answer: 2 R1 (Quotient is 2 and remainder is 1).


Example 3: Division with Larger Dividends


6 ÷ 3 = ?


Step 1: Divide directly: 6 ÷ 3 = 2.


Answer: 2.



More Vedic Techniques:


1. Multiplying by 11:


For example, 7 × 11:


Break down: 7 × 11 = 7 × (10 + 1).


Step 1: Multiply 7 by 10: 70.


Step 2: Multiply 7 by 1: 7.


Step 3: Add the results: 70 + 7 = 77.


Answer: 77.



2. Multiplying by 5:


For example, 6 × 5:


Step 1: Multiply 6 by 10: 60.


Step 2: Divide by 2: 60 ÷ 2 = 30.


Answer: 30.
