At the SNAP
math fair, I visited many different stations and had a chance to interact with
the students. I am surprised by how well the projects are put together. I think
relating the problem to an artifact in the museum made the project more meaningful
and engaging for the students to do. I also like how there is a visual or
hands-on object to help the audience understand. I find students are very proud
of their projects and they work very hard to put it together.
This math fair also gave me ideas of how I can
implement this in my classroom. I think working in pairs is important. Students
help each other and are less nervous when presenting it. Giving students clear
instructions is also very important. The assignment is very well planned by the
teacher. The students were giving math problem first, asked to relate and
rewrite the problem to an artifact, and create a poster with hints and
solutions for the audience. It is an excellent assignment that is student
centered and promotes inquiry-based learning.
