Review Courses for IVMO 2021
MATH-Inic Online is now offering two review “courses” for those who are planning to join the 1st International Vedic Mathematics Olympiad (IVMO 2021) on Sept 11, 2021.
They are the Vedic Maths Masterclasses 1 Plus and Vedic Maths Masterclasses 2 Plus which consist of the recordings of IAVM chair James Glover’s Masterclasses and additional videos from previous webinars of MATH-Inic Founder Virgilio “Ike Prudente”. Quizzes after the video lessons were added to enable students to practice what techniques they have learned earlier.
Several months ago, Mr. Glover who is also the organizer of IVMO 2021 held Masterclasses 1 and Masterclasses 2 for regional coordinators, teachers and student who are planning to participate in the event.
The Vedic Maths Masterclasses 1 Plus is recommended for those participating in the primary and junior categories while Vedic Maths Masterclasses 2 Plus is for those joining the intermediate, senior and open competitions.
Those who are “enrolled” in the courses may view and review the video lessons and answer the quizzes anytime, 24/7 starting August 28, 2021.
Each course is priced at P1,500.
