Have a Spring Math Fair!
Everybody does a science fair! How about having a math fair? A math fair is an exciting opportunity to showcase “hands-on” “minds-on” math activities where the whole family can get involved. Each class picks a project that is framed around math and displays it at the fair. Students and teams can also have entries. You might want to set up the areas in terms of the New Math Common Core domains! Here are some links that discuss math fairs.
