Course pacing guide
Recommended session structures for individual and group settings.
Abacus Level 1
Pacing
Assessment tip
After Lesson 5, do a quick oral test: show a bead position and ask students to say the number. After Lesson 9, test addition within 10.
Tools for this course
- Abacus Visualiser— Demonstrate bead positions on screen during class
- Flash Number Trainer— 5-minute warm-up activity at the start of each session
Printables
Abacus Level 2
Pacing
Assessment tip
Key checkpoint: after Lesson 4 (5-complement), students should solve 5-complement problems without hesitation. Drill this before moving to Lesson 5.
Tools for this course
- Mental Math Challenge— End-of-session 3-minute challenge to reinforce speed
- Worksheet Generator— Generate complement pair drills for homework
Printables
Abacus Level 3
Pacing
Assessment tip
Three-digit operations require the most drilling. After Lesson 6 (cascade rules), run 5 timed problems before proceeding. The mental bridge is reached by Lesson 8.
Tools for this course
- Mental Math Challenge— Daily speed building — 5 min at start of class
Printables
Mental Abacus Bridge
Pacing
Assessment tip
The readiness check for this course is simple: can the student read any single-digit bead pattern (1–9) without counting? If they are still counting beads, send them back to Level 2 flash practice first. Speed comes before this course, not during it.
Tools for this course
- Flash Trainer— 5-minute warm-up at lesson start — builds instant bead pattern recognition
- Abacus Visualiser— Show bead positions on screen while explaining mental visualisation concepts
Printables
Vedic Maths
Pacing
Assessment tip
The 'wow moment' is critical for Vedic Maths motivation. Before Lesson 1, show students 98 × 97 on the board. Ask who can solve it. Then show the shortcut from Lesson 6. Their reaction sets the tone for the whole course.
Tools for this course
- Vedic Multiplication Calculator— Live demonstration of Vedic methods during class
- Worksheet Generator— Generate sutra-specific practice problems for homework
AI Basics for Kids
Pacing
Assessment tip
AI Basics works best as a discussion course. After each lesson, run a 5-minute class discussion: 'What did AI do right? What was wrong?' The Fact, Opinion, or AI Guess? tool is designed exactly for this.
Tools for this course
- Fact, Opinion, or AI Guess?— Class activity: can students spot AI output vs fact vs opinion?
Printables
Creative Thinking
Pacing
Assessment tip
Creative Thinking is best run as group work. Show one puzzle to the whole class. Let them discuss in pairs for 3 minutes before revealing the answer. The collaborative thinking is the learning outcome.
Tools for this course
- Logic Puzzles— Warm-up or cool-down activity for any class
- Pattern Trainer— Group sequence challenges as a quick brain exercise
Printables
English Confidence — Foundations
Pacing
Assessment tip
After Lesson 4 (verbs), check that students can form at least 3 sentences using S-V-O order without Tamil word order creeping in. The key indicator: 'I eat rice' not 'I rice eat'. After Lesson 8 (reading), ask each student to read the passage aloud and answer 2 comprehension questions.
Tools for this course
- Fact or Opinion Game— Reading comprehension practice in English
English Confidence — Builder
Pacing
Assessment tip
After Lesson 4 (negation), check that students can form a negative sentence in past tense: 'I didn't go to school yesterday.' After Lesson 8 (capstone), each student should write a 6–8 sentence paragraph using mixed tenses, conjunctions, and prepositions.
Tools for this course
- Fact or Opinion Game— Reading comprehension and opinion-forming practice in English
Cyber Smart — Internet Safety
Pacing
Assessment tip
After Lesson 4 (scams), give students a printed 'scenario card' — a fake prize message, a suspicious link, a friend request from a stranger. Ask each student to say what they would do and why. After Lesson 8 (safety plan), each student should be able to recite three personal safety rules without prompting.
Tools for this course
- Fact or Opinion Game— Critical thinking warm-up — can students spot claims vs facts?
Money Basics for Kids
Pacing
Assessment tip
After Lesson 2 (needs vs wants), give students a list of 10 items and ask them to sort into needs and wants. After Lesson 6 (budgeting), ask each student to create a ₹200 budget on paper. The capstone (Lesson 8) asks students to write a personal money plan — this is the real assessment.
Tools for this course
- Mental Math Challenge— Quick arithmetic warm-up — supports the calculation skills in money scenarios
Money Basics for Teens
Pacing
Assessment tip
After Lesson 2 (digital payments), check that students can name the 5 safety rules without prompting. After Lesson 6 (scams), give a sample scam message and ask students to identify warning signs. The capstone (Lesson 8) asks students to write a 7-rule Teen Money Plan — this is the real assessment.
Tools for this course
- Mental Math Challenge— Quick arithmetic warm-up — supports budgeting and saving calculations
Study Skills in the AI Era
Pacing
Assessment tip
After Lesson 3 (active reading & notes), ask students to read a short passage and create Key Idea + Example + Question notes without guidance. After Lesson 5 (focus), ask each student to describe their personal distraction pattern. The capstone (Lesson 8) asks students to write a personal study plan — this is the real assessment.
Tools for this course
- 30-Day Study Planner— Help students plan structured study sessions with built-in revision spacing
How to use TamilGenius Lab in class
Individual self-paced use
Each student opens their course on a device and progresses at their own pace. The interactive drills give immediate feedback — no marking needed from you.
Setup
Assign 1 lesson per session. Check progress by asking each student their current lesson number. Use the Tools for the first 5 minutes as a shared warm-up.
Teacher-led demonstration
Display the course lesson on a projector or screen. Walk through each concept with the class, pausing the guided lesson to discuss in Tamil/English, then let students do the interactive drill on their own devices.
Setup
One device connected to projector + individual devices for drills. This works well for Abacus and Vedic Maths where visual demonstration is powerful.
Blended tuition model
Use TamilGenius Lab for lesson content and interactive drills; use your own materials for additional problem sets. The printable practice sheets bridge the two.
Setup
Guided lesson + drill online → printable practice sheet for homework → teacher-set problems for assessment. The Worksheet Generator creates unlimited additional practice.
Homework and revision
Assign lessons as homework. Students complete the lesson and drill at home, then come to class ready for questions and practice. The platform tracks their progress.
Setup
Tell students to complete 1 lesson before next class. In class, open the mental-math tool for a 5-minute review. Then proceed to the next lesson together.
