On June 9th and 10th the boys and girls in my Honors Math classes presented their Math Fair projects to family and fellow Indian Hill students. Preparation for the Fair started weeks ago when each student pair was given a different problem to solve. They worked very hard to solve the problem first by themselves - then with their partner. From there, the pairs made up their own problem based on the original problem I had given them. If that wasn't enough, they then made a really hard extension problem using the same strategy that was used to solve the original problem. Next, all of their creative juices started to flow as they thought of a theme, presentation, manipulatives, prizes, coaching techniques....the list goes on!!
I couldn't be prouder of my students and how the Math Fair turned out.
Please enjoy the movie below of some of the highlights of the fair!
