Objective We, as the students taking Additional Mathematics are required to carry out a project work while we are

in Form 5. This year the Curriculum Development Division, Ministry of Education has prepared for tasks for us with four choices, and I chose the third task. 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 to submit an individually written report. Upon completion of the Additional Mathematics Project Work, we are to gain valuable experiences and able to: 1. Apply and adapt a variety of problem solving strategies to solve routine and non-routine problems 2. Experience classroom environments which are challenging, interesting and meaningful and hence improve their thinking skills 3. Experience classroom environments where knowledge and skills are applied in meaningful ways in solving real-life problems 4. Experience classroom environments where expressing ones mathematical thinking, reasoning and communication are highly encouraged and expected 5. Experience classroom environments that stimulates and enhances effective learning 6. Acquire effective mathematical communication through oral and writing, and to use the language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas correctly and precisely 7. Enhance acquisition of mathematical knowledge and skills through problem- solving in ways that increase interest and confidence 8. Prepare ourselves for the demand of our future undertakings and in workplace 9. Realises that mathematics is an important and powerful tool in solving real-life problems and hence develop positive attitude towards mathematics. 10. Train ourselves not only to be independent learners but also to collaborate, to cooperate and to share knowledge in an engaging healthy environment 11. Use technology especially the ICT appropriately and effectively 12. Train ourselves to appreciate the intrinsic values of mathematics and to become more creative and innovative 13. Realises the importance and the beauty of mathematics

Acknowledgement and Appreciation First of all, I would like to say thank you to my friends, teachers and parents for giving me their full support in making this project successful. Not forgotten to my family for providing everything, such as money, to buy anything that are related to this project work and their advise, which is the most needed for this project. Internet, books, computers and all that act as my source to complete this project. They also supported me and encouraged me to complete this task so that I will not procrastinate in doing it. Then I would like to thank my teacher, Mr Hussin Bin Sahid for guiding me and my friends throughout this project. We had some difficulties in doing this task, but he taught us patiently and gave me guidance throughout the journey until we knew what to do. He tried his best to help us until we understand what we supposed to do with the project work. Besides that, my friends who were doing this project with me and shared our ideas. They were helpful that when we combined and discussed together, we had this task completed in just a glimpse of an eye. Last but not least, any party which involved either directly or indirect in completing this project work. Thank you everyone. Yours sincerely,
