Preface

The series of 'Excel in Mathematics' is completely based on the contemporary pedagogical teaching
learning activities and methodologies extracted from Teachers' training, workshops, seminars, and
symposia. It is an innovative and unique series in the sense that the contents of each textbooks of
the series are written and designed to fulfill the need of integrated teaching learning approaches.

Excel in Mathematics is an absolutely modified and revised edition of my three previous series:
'Elementary mathematics' (B.S. 2053), 'Maths in Action (B. S. 2059)', and 'Speedy Maths' (B. S. 2066).

The series of Vedanta Excel in Mathematics for pre-school has incorporated applied constructivism
via thematic integration approaches. Every lesson of the series of pre-school is written and
designed in such a manner, that makes the classes automatically constructive and the learners
actively participate in the learning process to construct knowledge themselves, rather than just
receiving ready made information from their instructors. Even the teachers will be able to get
enough opportunities to play the role of facilitators and guides shifting themselves from the
traditional methods of imposing instructions.

Clear and effective visualization of diagrammatic illustrations in the contents of each and every
unit in the series will be able to integrate mathematics lab and activities with the regular processes
of teaching learning mathematics connecting to real life situations.

The learner friendly instructions given in each and every learning content and activity
during regular learning processes will promote collaborative learning and help to develop
learner-centred classroom atmosphere.

The socially communicative approach by language and literature in every textbook of Vedanta
Excel in Mathematics for pre-school series plays a vital role as a ‘textual-parents’ to the young
learners and helps them overcome maths anxiety.

I do hope the students, teachers, and even the parents will be highly benefited from the 'Vedanta
Excel in Mathematics' for pre-school series.

Constructive comments and suggestions for the further improvements of the series from the
concerned are highly appreciated.

Acknowledgments

In making effective modification and revision in the Excel in Mathematics series from my previous
series, I’m highly grateful to the Principals, HODs, Mathematics teachers and experts, PABSON,
NPABSAN, PETSAN, ISAN, EMBOCS, NISAN, and independent clusters of many other Schools
of Nepal, for providing me with opportunities to participate in workshops, Seminars, Teachers’
training, Interaction programme, and symposia as the resource person. Such programmes helped
me a lot to investigate the teaching-learning problems and to research the possible remedies and
reflect to the series.

Thanks are due to Mr. Tara Bahadur Magar for his painstakingly editing of the series. I am thankful to
Dr. Komal Phuyal for editing the language of the series.

I’m profoundly grateful to the Vedanta Publication (P) Ltd. for publishing this series. I would
like to thank Chairperson Mr. Suresh Kumar Regmi, Managing Director Mr. Jiwan Shrestha, and
Marketing Director Mr. Manoj Kumar Regmi for their invaluable suggestions and support during
the preparation of the series.

Also I’m heartily thankful to Mr. Pradeep Kandel, the Computer and Designing Senior Officer of
the publication house for his skill in designing the series in such an attractive form. I am thankful
to Sunayana Dahal for her attractive illustrations.
