Guidelines

The document provides guidelines for Additional Mathematics students in Malaysia who must complete a project work in Form 5. It explains that students will choose one of four tasks to complete individually or in groups. The goals of the project work are for students to apply problem-solving strategies, work in challenging environments, communicate mathematically, and develop positive attitudes towards mathematics. Teachers are expected to organize students, provide guidance but not direct answers, evaluate progress, and allow three weeks to complete the task and written report.
