Why calculator?
Use of Calculators in the Curriculum
The introduction of calculators at Primary 5 and Primary 6 aims to enhance the
teaching and learning of mathematics at the primary level in two ways.
First, calculators facilitate the use of more exploratory approaches in learning
mathematical concepts, some of which may require repeated computations,
or computations with large numbers or decimals. With a calculator, students
can perform these tasks and better focus on discovering patterns and making
generalisations without worrying about computational accuracy.
Second, the use of calculators also enables teachers to use resources from
everyday life, such as supermarket advertisements, to set real-life problems with
real-life numbers that may be difficult for pupils to work with without a
calculator. Pupils would hence be better able to see the connection between
mathematics and the world around them.

Helping Your Child to Enjoy Science• Exploring Science with Your Children
Science is all around us and children are constantly observing their surroundings. Help your children make sense of the world around them by showing them science phenomena that occur in everyday activities.
Check out some of these online educational resources which you can try out together with your children:
• http://www.science.edu.sg/resources/Pages/SCBResourcesHome.aspxTry out these simple experiments with your children .
• http://www.scientificamerican.com/section.cfm?id=bring-science-homeLook through this online repository for activities that explain simple science concepts.
• http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/subjects/z2pfb9qWatch video clips illustrating science concepts.
• http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/Find interesting facts, videos, games and quizzes.
Helping Your Child to Enjoy Science• Learning Science through Questioning
Examples of living things around us Examples of questions
Observing living things: An example of a living thing – Fish
How would you describe this animal? Which animal group does it belong to? What do fishes have in common?
Sometimes, we may encounter challenging questions that you do not have an answer to. Don’t be worried or afraid, we don’t have to be a walking encyclopaedia to guide our children.
Invite them to learn together. For example, you could say, “That’s an interesting question. Let’s find out together!” Acknowledge your children’s efforts in asking questions and guide them as they look for an answer.
Engage your children by inviting them to ask questions or by asking them questions. They learn best this way!
