Q-Math and Q School
“You Can Experience Maths”: The Concept is Lived Before the Technique is Taught
1. Overview & Definition
A radical reversal of traditional rote maths teaching. Children first physically see and touch the concept, apply Vedic Maths techniques, and translate real-world sentences into equations. Q School scales this approach as ACHARIYA's EduTech division.
2. Conceptualization & Leadership
Conceived and designed by Dr. J. Arawindhan since 2000; codified, tested, and scaled across campuses through the ACHARIYA Centre of Excellence (CoE) and faculty development academies.
3 & 4. Operational Mechanics & Core Principles
- Five verbs executed every time: See it, touch it, think it, solve it, apply it.
- Three 20-minute daily periods: Mental Maths, Abacus, and Quantum Computing foundations.
- 100+ pre-maths skills taught across ten classes with an Addition Practice Board and Number Line.
- 50 story cards per concept to make abstract numbers tangible.
- Divya Vidya Mental Maths integrated into a seamless system.
5. Implementation & Target Learners
Implemented across 101 ACHARIYA-affiliated schools, 18 higher education colleges, and 9 Heguru centres, catering to age groups spanning toddlerhood (6 months) through Grade 12.
6. Documented Evidence & Reach
- Fluency built systematically in Classes 1–8 is applied directly in Classes 9–12 competitive exams.
- Q School operates as an active business unit within the group.
- UCMAX Abacus operates as an affiliated specialized group company.
