I. Introduction

In line with one of the subjects of Master of Science in Secondary Education major in Mathematics,

Seminar in Teaching Mathematics (Math 290), a seminar entitled “Seminar on Vedic Mathematics” was

conducted on November 20, 2016 (from 8:00 – 12:00) and December 3, 2016 (from 8:00 – 12:00). The

seminar is organized and conducted by the Math 290 students with Dr. Wenceslao A. Coronado as the

facilitator, adviser, and speaker as well. The participants are Education Students (Math Majors) of

Mindanao State University – Naawan, and secondary students from different high schools.

After every speaker is an open discussion and forum for questions and queries of the participants.

The seminar ended with the closing remarks by Maria Araceli B. Acero and closing prayer by Early Jean R.

Dandasan.

IV. Evaluation and Recommendation

The seminar is successfully done, all the topics and objectives are attained, all questions of the

participants are answered, all were given snacks, and fact sheets, and all speakers were able to speak.

With this, it is recommended that seminars related to Vedic Math be conducted again with a broader

scope of participants and venue so that many individuals would learn its concepts and techniques for

better performance in Math especially in Algebra.
