## Company Overview

Vedicly (ודיקלי) is an Israeli educational company founded in 2022 by Raphael Bernard.
During his undergraduate mathematics studies at Bar-Ilan University, Raphael served as
a tutor in elementary school math classes and realized that with a different approach,
children can genuinely fall in love with mathematics.

The first lesson plans were developed with the help of Prajakti Gokhale, a lecturer in
number theory and Vedic methods at the University of Pune, India. Together they created
a unique syllabus combining ancient fast-calculation techniques with modern pedagogical
approaches, adapted for the Israeli education system.

## Key Metrics
- 2,000+ active students
- 30+ partner schools
- ~700% growth since founding
- Ministry of Education certified GPN provider #38025 (STEM sub-category)

## The FUNToM Methodology

### Core Principle: Trick First, Explore Later

The methodology is built on three stages:

### Stage 1: The Trick — Quick Wins & Igniting Curiosity
We start with a mental shortcut — a "trick" that enables quick solutions and a playful
experience with math at its center. Students solve exercises that seemed impossible
just moments ago. Result: neutralizing anxiety barriers and building mathematical confidence.

### Stage 2: Cognitive Disruption — When the Trick Stops Working
Here's where the real magic happens. We present a situation where the trick doesn't work.
Students ask "Wait... why didn't it work?" — that's precisely the moment when failure
becomes an intriguing puzzle and the mind switches to exploration mode.

### Stage 3: Growth & Exploration — Developing Mathematical Wisdom
Together, we break down the trick into its components, understand the deep mathematical
logic, and learn to set boundaries for every tool. Result: a student who isn't afraid of
mistakes but sees them as opportunities for discovery.

## Why Vedicly?

### Critical Thinking, Not Memorization
Instead of memorizing, young students learn to think and ask why. We use mathematics as
a laboratory for developing critical thinking and analytical skills — because in the age
of AI, the ability to analyze, question, and challenge is the most important tool of all.

### Success Experience & Neutralizing Math Anxiety
We start with mathematical "tricks" that create quick wins for students, dispel anxiety,
and build high self-confidence. Once we capture their attention, we embark on a journey
of exploration and deep mathematical understanding.

### Analytical Exploration & Critical Thinking
When anxiety disappears, curiosity arrives — along with the understanding that the path
to a solution is no less important than the solution itself.

## For Parents
What do you do when your children shy away from math lessons and homework? We help
children leave math anxiety behind and bring back the spark in their eyes. They win quick
victories, mathematical confidence arrives from the very first moment. Instead of your
children just being "good at math," Vedicly's methodology gives them the tools to become
critical and curious.

## For Schools
Vedicly is certified by the Ministry of Education as a GPN provider in the STEM
sub-category. The company operates math enrichment programs in elementary schools aimed
at developing a love for the subject among young students. Lessons are conducted in a
frontal format led by a team of instructors including skilled mathematicians who have
undergone specialized training.

## FAQ

### What exactly does Vedicly provide?
Vedicly provides experiential frontal enrichment lessons in half-classes, usually on a
weekly basis. During the lessons we integrate gamification approaches and give young
students the foundation needed for developing mathematical wisdom. Students learn what
exploration is, how to approach problems, and how to ask the right questions.

### What age group is the program for?
The program is designed for grades 3-6 (ages 8-12) — the critical window of opportunity
for shaping analytical thinking and cognitive flexibility.

### How do we get started?
Schools can implement the program easily — all that's needed is a comfortable classroom
and a board. Contact us and we'll arrange an initial demonstration.

### How is Vedicly different from regular tutoring?
Vedicly is not "more tutoring." Our method is built on advanced research and combines
fast-calculation techniques with a critical exploration process — so students don't just
improve in math, but develop tools for deep thinking that accompany them in all areas
of life.
