Chapter 3 Activity 3: Getting to Know Singapore

In this activity, you are going to assume the role of a Singapore Ambassador, to make recommendations of interests to tourists visiting Singapore. You will introduce a significant landmark by highlighting the features of the landmark using some ‘vital statistics’ in a digital poster.

The digital poster

1. should have the title that tells the reader brief info about the place
   
2. should have at least 3 exact figures and 3 approximated figures to provide useful information about the landmark to the tourists; remember to provide context to the figures
   
3. should have relevant images of the landmark
4. can be created using KeyNote, Glogster or any digital medium that enables you to create a digital poster to be embedded in the blog post

You will embed the digital poster in the Maths blog. In the same blog post,

• indicate which figures are exact and which are approximated that are found in the poster
  
• cite the sources where the information and images that you use in the poster
