Invitation by Math2Shine CEO, Lokesh Tayal:
Dear Sir,
I am Lokesh Tayal, founder of Math2Shine Singapore, a company committed to spreading Vedic Math globally using our Ed-Tech platform. Our platform enables students to practice Vedic Math and improve their understanding by watching over 200 of my videos and 300 videos from Vedic Math legend Kenneth Williams, our co-founder.
I am writing to inform you about the Math2Shine Vedic Math Olympiad and invite education departments, schools, and colleges to participate in this year’s international competition. Vedic Math, a natural system originating from India, is gaining traction globally, with figures like Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi advocating for its use to improve math skills. The details of the competition is as follows:
Name: 1st Math2Shine International Vedic Math Competition
Date of Contest: July 22, 2023
Format: Online, 40 questions, 1 hour
Coordinators may choose among three schedules (all Singapore time)
8:00 – 9:00 AM
4:00 – 5:00 PM
12:00 MN to 1PM (July 23)
There are six levels of the competition:
- Beginners (9 years and below)
- Primary (11 years and below)
- Junior (13 years and below)
- Intermediate (16 years and below)
- Senior (18 years and below)
- Open (any age)
To prepare for the competition, we offer free one-month access to our Math2Shine Student Portal, providing over 1200 Vedic Math worksheets and 2000 school curriculum-based worksheets. We will also provide previous Olympiad participants with one extra month of free access.
Top-ranked participants will receive medals, and those who pass with distinction will earn certificates. Our Olympiad is open to all, with Vedic Math knowledge being a distinct advantage. We are collaborating with Mr. Virgilio Y. Prudente of MATH-Inic, a leading Vedic Math expert in the Philippines. He has trained a large number of people in Vedic Math in Philippines, and he would be appointing Local Coordinators to smoothly organize the competition in July 2023.
Our associate Mr. Virgilio Y. Prudente and local coordinators play a crucial role in influencing student participation. We would be delighted to offer them a two-month Vedic Math adult training certification at a significantly reduced price of PHP 1500 for online video-based training, it is a 90% discount on the listed price.
I sincerely request you to encourage students in your community and educational institutions to participate in the Math2Shine Vedic Math Olympiad. In addition to the confidence gained through Olympiad results, the preparation process will significantly benefit the students. We will also conduct sessions to help them understand the Olympiad preparation content.
Please feel free to contact us at contest@math2shine.com, if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind regards,

ANNEX I: Contest Mechanics
Objectives:
- To improve the level of Vedic Math knowledge among the participants.
- To encourage the use of Vedic Math mental techniques in solving common problems.
- To develop confidence, patience, and stamina among the learners in solving unfamiliar problems.
- To enhance out-of-the-box thinking among participants.
Competition:
- The competition will be held online on July 22, 2023, on three time slots: 8:00 AM, 4:00 PM and 12 Midnight (July 23), Singapore time.
- The competition shall be administered by the Local Coordinators (LCs). Two set-ups may be considered:
- a) The contestants are gathered in a spacious room with adequate internet connection. This will enable the LCs and their assistants to closely observe their participants who only need to use a laptop, notebook or cell phone to take the quiz.
- The participants may be in their homes or classrooms but need an additional device where the camera is focused on them during the contest so that they can be observed by the LCs.
The LCs can use a combination of the 2 set-ups.
- The competitions will be in six categories based on the age of the contestants on the date of the contest, July 22, 2023
- Beginners (Primary B in IVMO 2022): 9 years or younger
- Primary (Primary A in IVMO 2022): 11 years or younger
- Juniors: 13 years or younger
- Intermediate: 16 years or younger
- Seniors: 18 years or younger
- Open: any age
- The participants will be given 60 minutes to answer forty multiple choice questions in Google Quiz. Correct answers to
- a) Easy questions (1 to 25) will be given 2 points each,
- Average questions (26 to 35) will be given 3 points each, and
- Hard questions (36 to 40) will be given 4 points each.
- The participants are not allowed to use any manual or electronic calculating device during the contest.
- Most questions can be answered using the traditional methods, but knowledge of Vedic Math is definitely an advantage. Some questions can only be solved using VM techniques.
- The top 30% of the competitors in each category will be given Certificates of Recognition and for the top 5%, a Gold medal; for the next 10%, a Silver medal and a Bronze medal for the next 15%.
- The next 30% will receive a Certificate of Merit each.
- The non-winners will each receive a Certificate of Participation.
Local Coordinators in the Philippines:
- The Local Coordinators (LCs) shall invite students and teachers to join the 1st M2S IVMC.
- They shall be responsible for training their participants using the MATH2Shine platform for the event.
- They shall assist and closely monitor the conduct of their participants while answering the competition questions.
- Registration fee for LCs is P1,200.
- Each LC shall be assigned a unique URL where his or her participants may register.
- 6) The LC shall collect the participants registration fee of P600 and shall remit to Math2Shine through its local representative, MATH-Inic Philippines, only 70% or P420 per participant. The remaining P180 shall be retained by the LC to cover any incidental expenses.
- Those interested to be a Local Coordinator for the event can contact Mr Virgilio Y. Prudente ( ike.prudente@math-inic.com or 09175004763).
Participants Registration: The participants shall register with and pay the registration fee of P600 to the accredited Local Coordinator in their school or district not later than June 24, 2023.
