The pace of innovations and technological advancement has been rapid and unprecedented in the last century, yet ancient wisdom collected over centuries is the foundation of the monumental achievements mankind today takes pride in. On a similar build up Vabri offers to hone mathematical skills by putting together ancient and modern mathematical approaches. The venture came to life in 1996 and evolved into to a full fledged program in 2008. Since then Vabri Math© has been building and fine polishing student skills.
VABRI as an acronym stands for Vedic + Abacus + Basic Russian+ Integrated.
Vabri Math© is an integrated concept of Vedic, abacus and basic Russian mathematics for the students in the age group 5 _ 15 years. Vabri Math© is a powerful tool for the learners to understand mathematical operations, develop insight into patterns and relationships, with logical understanding of the underlying principals.
Mathematics is not just calculation and formulas but also a search for patterns. If students can cognize these underlying patterns and relationships they can well make a head start in achieving their goals_ be it good grades, acing competitive exams or developing personal skills to strengthen one’s personality.
Mental Ability : - Aptitude test is considered to be an integral part of all competitive exams as it is based on the IQ and mental ability of individuals. Aptitude test is to find out ones ability to think and solve problems, reasoning and competency in numbers.
VABRI math gives your child a plethora of opportunity to
think, solve problems and reason at a very young age.
The ability to reason is an important cognitive
development and it is proven that children aged 6 to 12 think is concrete ways.
They develop the concepts of addition, subtraction, sorting etc with the kelp
of objects. In Vabri the curriculum of reasoning is developed with the help of
unhinges and shapes. Which assist the students to comprehend the concepts.
The Aptitude tests of all competitive exams have
questions of mental ability. To make your child adept in it, VABRI math gives
super star questions every week, and whoever solves them first is given the
title of Super Star of the week; for learning with encouragement and enthusiasm.
PUZZLE : - Puzzle is a game or problem that trills persons knowledge. In a puzzle the solver is expected to put pieces together in a logical way to arrive at the correct solution. Vabri takes your child through the world of puzzles and build a strong logical thinks in them.
Map Puzzle : - Learning map is fun!! It gives information about the world in a simple visual way. It teachers you the size, shape and position of countries as well as its features.
However our children are not much exposed to map
learning, hence they lose out on its fun. In VABRI we take our child through
the programme of map puzzle which will enable him/her to learn, the countries,
continents and their capitals effortlessly and easily frame the positions of
places mentally.
Mathematical Games : - People of all ages love to play games. It is exciting and motivating. Games provide students space to explore fundamental math concepts. Mathematical games encourage students to deepen their mathematical undertaking and reasoning.
VABRI equip the students to master over different
mathematical concepts like Prime numbers, divisibility rule, rational numbers
etc with the support of Games.
Play is an essential activity of every childs life. If is
vital for enjoyment so well as social and emotional development. Through
playing games students learn a variety of important sill. They develop critical
thinking, creativity team work and sportsmanship through games.
Mathematical games encourage students to deepen their
mathematical understanding.
» Is 91 a prime number?
» How many rational numbers are there from 1 to 100?
» Is π rational?
» What’s the divisibility rule for 11?
Students answer these questions within seconds. Theres no
need to memorize them! Students solve these questions with the help of
Mathematical games.
Speed Master and Flash cards : - Speed and accuracy in math, makes us an expert in the subject. One of the objectives of VABRI, is to make your child a genius in math.
Flash card and speed master is an important attribute of
Vabri through which students reach the goal.
Students are shown flash cards and they are required to
make calculations based on that. This improves their mental mathematical
abilities and self confidence. There are also other exercises where the teacher
speaks numbers at a high speed and the students are supposed to write them down
keeping the pace. And whosoever does it fast and accurate is given the title of
Speed master of the week. Again, this invigorates a sense of healthy
competition in students.
Is study enough?
All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.
After studying at school and tuition and then homework,
children seldom get time to go out and play. This makes them dull and develops
a feeling of boredom.
At VABRI, we organize regular camps for children to go
out, play and learn. This keeps them enthusiastic and gets them charged and
energetic. This also helps them keep their interests towards studies alive.
IQ and Memory Games : - To increase the learning and retaining power of children, we have a lot of memory games at VABRI. These games aim at boosting memory and IQ. So, we play such games at VABRI to improve these skills.
How is Vabri Math Different from Leading Maths Programs?
» Vabri Math Program has integrated the best of
global techniques/tricks/tools. It increases speed and accuracy up to 10x.
Introduction of new techniques/tools for each topic keeps students engaged and
interested in the Maths. Puzzles, mathematical games further develop their love
for Maths.
» One of the leading Maths Programs believes in
practising and practising. Students practice questions until mastered. It may
work for some students but not for all, especially those students who are not
interested in Maths. At Vabri Math, we understand practice makes student
perfect, but the usage of new techniques/tricks makes Maths magical for them.
They not only find such tips and tricks interesting, engaging but also generates
their love for math.
» Other leading Maths program either only focuses on a
school curriculum or one topic at a time, that may become monotonous for
students. At Vabri Math, we introduce students to various topic according to
their age that also aligns with the school curriculum. With regular lessons,
students advanced their peers at school by a couple of years.
» Vabri Math also focuses on Brain Development.
Reasoning is a part of our Modules / Steps. Logical Reasoning, when introduced
at a young age, develops self-regulation, critical thinking, self-motivation,
decision making, analysis ability etc. in the students. Most of the reputed
competitive exams, entrance exams consists of Logical Reasoning & Maths.
» Vabri Math charges fees for Module/Step. We do not
charge monthly fees like other leading programs. If a student attends regular
classes, completes homework in time and has still not progressed as expected,
we would not charge extra fees until the student has achieved expected progress
in the particular Module/Step.
What is Vabri Math
program?
Vabri Math is an
integrated program of Abacus, Vedic Math, Basic Russian Math &
Reasoning. As no one approach fits all, the excellence program implements
different approached through different techniques, tools, tips & tricks
according to the concept taught to the student. It can improve speed &
accuracy up to 10 times.
Why different approaches?
At Vabri Math, we work on
developing critical thinking and reasoning skills. We build a deep
understanding of the concept basically; our program is understanding vs.
memorization. Hence, we use different approaches to develop the concept and
strengthen the fundamentals of math.
Abacus is best for
Arithmetical operations like Addition and Subtraction and to a certain extent
for Multiplication.
Vedic Math is a concept
gifted by Vedas comprises of formulas that can increase speed & accuracy by
10- 15 times.
Russian Math is against
memorization and stresses on problem-solving. It is about starting early and
accelerated learning.
Why Reasoning with Math?
Reasoning develops
critical thinking and analytical skills in the student that encourages students
to look at the Math from a different perspective and encourages them to find
solutions in more than one way. Reasoning has many benefits in life also.
Students learn to reason & analyze the real-life situation and can make an
informed decision.
What is the future benefit of the Program?
Every competitive exam or
entrance exam has Math & Reasoning as main subjects. Time is the essence of
these exams. The speed with accuracy gained at Vabri Math many times increases
the chances of success in the exams resulting in a successful professional
career.
What is meant by the
concept based program?
At Vabri, our focus is on
strengthening the concepts in the students. Through reasoning & logic, we
make them understand the why of the problem which enables them to find how on
their own.
Most of the students who
underperform in math are the ones who try to memorize the methods taught at
school. We focus on actively building the foundation of math by conceptual
understanding with the use of pictures, flashcards, puzzles, games, activities
etc. Students fall in love with Math once concepts are clear, fundamentals are
strong.
Along with concepts and
fundamentals, we also stress on speed & accuracy. The combination assures
success in any math exam.
How do you track the
performance of the students?
For us, the learning
outcome is very important to us. We track each student’s performance in
multiple ways. Observation during the lesson, practice sheets and conduct a few
assessments during various stages of each module/step - in the middle, pre and
final assessment. However, we never rush students and they are allowed to learn
at their speed and abilities.
What is your course
structure?
The Program is divided
into two parts – Vabri Prep & Vabri Math.
Vabri Prep is for
students of age 5 – 10 years. It is of 12 modules, and each module is
structured to complete in 3 months. Students learn Abacus, Mental Math, Finger
Math, and Introduction to Vedic Math, Basic Math, and Logical Reasoning.
Vabri Prep is for
students of age 10-15 years. It is of 9 Steps, and each step is structured to
complete in three months. Students learn Abacus, Mental Math, Russian Math, Vedic
Math, Maps, Basic Math, and Logical Reasoning.
Many students complete
Steps and Modules earlier than three months. Some students take longer than
three months. All students are encouraged to learn according to their
abilities.
How are the fees charged?
The fee is for the
Module/Step and not monthly. We believe three months is a minimum time for a
student to understand the concept and learn the fundamentals covered in a
particular topic. Also, it is the minimum time to track performance.
If any child takes longer
than three months - the time module/step is expected to complete, no extra fees
will be charged. The fees that we charge is for concept development in the
student, and the child can take as much time as required even a year; he/she
will have to pay the fees only once.
My child, at Vabri, is
doing math which he will learn after two years in school. What if he/she needs
support after two years?
The students are welcome
to refresh the modules/steps that they have already completed at Vabri anytime
in the future for free of cost. We will not charge any fees irrespective the
fee hike at that particular point of time in future.
We take responsibility
for the modules/steps completed at Vabri as long as they need it in their life
for the fees once paid.
Why online classes?
Corona virus has changed
the way the world operates. It has made us realized the benefits of working
online. Many corporate are saving costs by letting the significant number of
employees work from home permanently. Farmers have started selling their
products online. The world is going digital. Schools and related activities are
no exception. Online classes have become a norm. It is going to be beneficial
for children, as future is AI. The earlier they go digital the better.
Another positive is the
reduced carbon footprint and environment friendly.
Centre-based classes
often require parents to make pick-up and drop arrangements even in adverse
weather, making adjustments with activities of siblings, finding parking space
& other challenges. Also, the centre-based class has 5-6 times more
students than online class and a student may not get the required attention.
Online classes can be done from the comfort of home in any weather, save time & cost and are more manageable for parents.
