The study has involved 160 samples of third grade students. Eighty samples were selected from government aided schools and eighty were selected from private schools. These selected samples were divided as experimental and controlled group. Traditional method was employed with control group and Vedic mathematics method with experimental group. Pretest-posttest non-equivalent group design was applied for this study. A module on Vedic mathematics was constructed based on the state board syllabus of Tamil Nādu and it was administered among the students. An attitude towards mathematics Scale was constructed and standardized by the investigator. Pretest and post test was conducted, and data was analyzed. The results inferred that Vedic mathematics applied in the experimental group is effective on enhancing the attitude towards learning mathematics of the III standard students.
