Math Fair

Math is part of our every day life. It is used to perform many different daily tasks such as packing a suitcase, planning a travel route, making strategic decisions.

Many students fear math and think they are not able to solve math problems successfully. Problem solving, which is practiced in math fair, is a great way to engage students with math in a different way from they way that math is taught in the traditional classroom. It could especially help those students who fear math.

Surely, I think it is possible to do a math fair at school. One way to do that could be finding other math teachers who are interested in doing math fair and set up a math fair in proper place at school. Another possibility could be setting up a math fair for each class separately. But the first one, I think, would be more interesting.
