What is the difference between Cuemath and Vedic Math?
Vedic math is a collection of 16 principles (or patterns) identified and documented in the 1960s. Once memorized, these principles allow one to calculate certain problems mentally. Other aspects of math like conceptual understanding, applications and problem-solving are not covered by Vedic Math. This is covered extensively by Cuemath. At Cuemath, students learn the concepts by solving problems that require them to reason and figure things out. Cuemath teachers are trained to help students by not giving the answers away. Instead, they cue by nudging students to self discover.
What is the difference between Cuemath and Montessori?
The Montessori system is a learning method followed by some schools. Cuemath is an after-school math program that focuses on building a strong foundation in math by going into the reasoning and logic of its concepts. Even while applying concepts, the Cuemath teacher offers cues based on the concept so that students understand the logic behind the concept.
Cuemath vs Abacus - Which one is better?
Abacus and Cuemath are after-school math programs. Abacus is designed to increase the speed of mental calculations. Cuemath is a math program focused on the logic and reasoning behind the calculations.Cuemath focuses on building a strong foundation in math by going into the reasoning and logic of its concepts. Even while applying concepts, the Cuemath teacher offers cues based on the concept so that students learn to apply them logically.
My child is special, how can Cuemath's program help my child?
Cuemath program is not specifically designed to help students with special learning needs. However, some of our teachers have accepted enrolments of special needs children with due consent from the parents. Click here to know more about how Cuemath's program can help your child.

Learn more about how all children get better at math in Cuemath.
Why should I enroll my child in Cuemath when I want him/her to focus on other activities?
Cuemath classes don't feel like work. It is designed to keep children engaged with Math activities and puzzles that make them fall in love with math without putting any pressure on your child.
Why do I need Cuemath's program when my child is scoring 100 consistently?
Usually, the school system and the traditional notion of mathematics are limited to math concepts that are prescribed for the grade the student is in.Cuemath program covers multiple domains such as Math Concepts, Aptitude, Creative reasoning, etc. which ensure holistic learning of the subject by your child. This will be beneficial in the long run in terms of acing competitive exams as well as school exams.
How does Cuemath help a child who is already good at math?
A child is considered good at math if they score well in school exams. However, it's not an accurate indicator of a child's math ability. Many students score 95% to 100% in their exams, but are not clear about key math concepts. It is important to note that a weak math foundation becomes evident in higher grades when a child finds it difficult to deal with increasing complexity. At Cuemath, we give personal attention to your child to analyse their improvement areas. For students who are already strong in fundamentals, our program focuses on advanced concepts (with increasing difficulty level, Olympiad preparation, etc). Furthermore, children who are good at math might lose interest in the subject because their schools may not challenge them enough to keep them engaged. At Cuemath, students are constantly challenged with tab-based activities and puzzle cards among others.
How does Cuemath help a child who hates math?
There can be many reasons as to why a child ends up hating math - a child’s fundamentals may not be strong, or the child has become disinterested in math because of the way it is taught at school or tuition centres. They aim at building a strong math foundation and helping students learn conceptually instead of memorization. Just as you can’t learn swimming by watching a bunch of YouTube videos. Similarly, math can’t be learnt by watching your teacher solve problems. The students are cued towards the answer by asking them questions leading to the discovery of concepts. Cuemath focuses on the concept of WHY over WHAT. Students are trained to master questions that begin with ‘Why’ rather than ‘What’.
How is Cuemath better than home tuitions?
Home tuitions focus on homework completion and exams revision, with little focus on learning something new, or going beyond what is taught in school. They follow what is taught at school At Cuemath, we focus on building your child’s fundamentals in math. Here, the curriculum is delivered in a structured fashion – through Online worksheets and simulations. The Cuemath teachers are carefully selected and undergo rigorous training.Unlike home tuitions which have no cap on the number of students, a Cuemath teacher enrols only 7 to 8 students from different grades. This has two specific benefits - it reduces competition amongst students, while also allowing the teacher to give individual attention to each student.
How can you be so sure that my child will love math/Cuemath?
We have over 5,000 centres across India. We have witnessed the change in the way children learn, and become great at math with us. Our program is specially built to make children love math! From solving problems on our Online LEAP platform and interactive simulations that include real-life problems, we make math learning relatable and fun.
How do you ensure that my child will get personalized attention?
Our program is designed carefully - from finding you the ideal teacher and structuring the ideal batch size to designing the curriculum. At Cuemath, each batch has up to 6 children and consists of students from different grades (KG to grade 12) thereby, reducing competition amongst students and helping the teacher give individual attention to each student. Our curriculum is system-driven in that each activity of the child (Online worksheets, interactive simulations and puzzle cards) is recorded. As a result, the system drives the next steps (in terms of the difficulty level) for each student depending on their learning speed and progress.
Will my child do better in exams after Cuemath?
Scoring high marks in exams is a short-term goal. In most cases, students can remember all the exercises and score well in exams. At Cuemath, we teach math as life skills. We focus on learning and building strong fundamentals. We believe that if the concepts are strong, scoring good marks in exams is bound to happen. Our vision is to develop a child’s mathematical mindset and critical thinking.
Why don’t you give any homework to the children?
The Cuemath program follows a learning-by-doing approach. At Cuemath, children learn math by practicing on their own (worksheets and tablets). In most schools, your child has to focus on merely copying notes - hence the homework. However, at Cuemath, your child spends more than 3 hours per week (5 periods – 30 minutes each) working independently, giving them enough practice.
