TTF (Teachers for the Land Foundation) cooperated with Casio Marketing Thailand successfully hold the first Math Competition in Bangkok on 18th December 2018.
The competition was held in Santirat Witthayalai School and participated by 148 secondary students of 37 schools selected by OBEC (Offices of the Basic Education Commission) Bangkok.

 

Both junior high school and high school students made up pairs and used “fx-991EX” CASIO’s flagship scientific calculators to win for the top 5 trophies and prize money. They were excited to join the competition using the calculators for the first time. One of the students has answered in interview that he would feel happy if this scientific calculator with rich functions becomes more necessary in the classroom.
