This year the Curriculum Development Division, Ministry of Education hasprepared four tasks for us. We are to choose and complete only ONE task based on our area of interest. This project can be done in groups or individually, but each of us are expected tosubmit an individually written report. Upon completion of the Additional Mathematics ProjectWork, we are to gain valuable experiences and able to:
Apply and adapt a variety of problem solving strategies to solve routine and non-routine problems;
Experience classroom environments which are challenging, interesting and meaningfuland hence improve their thinking skills.
Experience classroom environments where knowledge and skills are applied inmeaningful ways in solving real-life problems
Experience classroom environments where expressing ones mathematicalthinking,reasoning and communication are highly encouraged and expected
Experience classroom environments that stimulates and enhances effective learning.
Acquire effective mathematical communication through oral and writing,and to usethe language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas correctly and precisely
Enhance acquisition of mathematical knowledge and skills through problem-solving inways that increase interest and confidence
Prepare ourselves for the demand of our future undertakings and in workplace
Realise that mathematics is an important and powerful tool in solving real-lifeproblems and hence develop positive attitude towards mathematics.
Train ourselves not only to be independent learners but also to collaborate, tocooperate, and to share knowledge in an engaging and healthy environment
Use technology especially the ICT appropriately and effectively
Train ourselves to appreciate the intrinsic values of mathematics and to become morecreative
