            Recently the Ministry of Education (Singapore) announced the use of

            scientific calculator at the Primary School Leaving Examinations in

            the year 2009. This workshop aims to demonstrate a series of

            activities on the use of the scientific calculator which the

            facilitator has shared among the Singapore Mathematics teachers.

            Participants will have opportunities to have hands-on experiences.

            These activities will reflect the use of the scientific calculator

            as a teaching and learning, problem-solving and project tool.
