Maths tricks are the ways to solve complex Mathematical problems easily and quickly. Mathematics is not limited to learning from textbooks only, rather learning different styles that makes the subject easier.

Maths is not an easy subject for many students. Hence, Mathematical tricks are the best way to make Maths a fun subject. Therefore, learning simple tricks will help students to gain their confidence and enhance problem – solving skills.

An interhouse competition was conducted  where all  eight participants presented their tricks with great zeal. The tricks were based of different concepts. For eg. Addition, Multiplication, Square roots, Vedic Maths, etc.

With the help of this activity, students have increased their thinking skill, calculation skill and time span too as they can attempt questions faster now.  Summing up, the competition helped for an effective learning of Mental Maths skills and participation of students as an individual.

Many such tricks are applicable for students suffering from INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. For eg. ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, Slow learners, etc.
