March 2012 Dear Parents Some of the topics studied in mathematics by girls in year 4, U4, L5 and U5, will require the use of a calculator. Any scientific calculator is suitable, but we recommend the Casio FX83GT Plus scientific calculator which provides all the mathematical functions needed, and which will continue to be useful for IGCSE or GCSE Mathematics and into the Sixth Form. If you wish to purchase the calculator from the Mathematics Department, the cost of £7.50 will be added to the school bill. Please sign and return the reply slip to indicate whether or not you wish to take advantage of this opportunity, or contact me by e-mail on mairi.mccuish@qas.org.uk. Yours sincerely Miss M McCuish Head of Mathematics ……………………………………………………………………………………… To: Head of Mathematics: mairi.mccuish@qas.org.uk Daughter’s Name: ________________________________ I wish to purchase a Casio FX83GT Plus calculator from the Mathematics Department.
