Dear Sir/Madam,
PROPOSAL FOR MATH EXPLORACE AT SK LAJAU BEAUFORT
Introduction
We are a group of students from Program Pengijazahan Guru (PPG)
Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). We are planning to organise a
Math Explorace at your school on xx November 2014. The activity is
a course assignment as a partial fulfillment for English for
Occupational Purposes subject we are taking this semester. I am
writing to you to seek your consent to allow us using your school as
the venue for the programme. The programme will benefit the
students from your esteem school to improve their English skills and
Mathematics knowledge.
For your further information, one of our group members is a teacher

Background and Purpose
Mathematics is a very important subject. Be it basic or advance,
people need to have a mathematical knowledge to solve calculation
problems, simple or complex. In our pursuit for an advanced

science. As such, teaching mathematics in various ways is very
crucial so that students can learn the subject more effectively. In
this view, the proposed Math Explorace will be an interesting and

outdoor activity. It is our hope that at the end of the programme
they will learn mathematics leisurely.
