What is a Math Fair?
A Math Fair is an exhibition of math projects prepared and presented by students under the guidance of their parents, teacher, and/or with the help of other persons interested in the math topic being presented.
Examples of Ideas which can be explored…
Original games, puzzles, geometric expressions
Experiments in estimation, numeration, measurement, problem solving
Application of mathematics in navigation, astronomy, economics, photography, music, hobbies, etc.
Concrete or visual models
Analysis, Trigonometry, Topology, etc.
Statistics and Probability
There are many more original ideas that may be used. Be as creative as you wish.
Who May Enter?
Any K-5 student -- working independently or as a two-person team
A classroom (class project must involve a majority of the students in the class)
Only one entry per student or team
A student may work independently on a math project or may choose to work with a partner. Maximum number of students who may team together on a math project is two.
This is an “at home” project.
Parent involvement is encouraged; however, please be sure your child does the majority of the work and is able to explain and answer pertinent questions concerning his/her project.
