Entry: SNAP Fairs


I think that a SNAP Math Fair would be feasible at my practicum school, though I would need to verify it before-hand. I would most likely test it out with 1 block of students to test the waters. I could give the class a list of projects appropriate to their age and skill level, and let them each choose one in small groups. Maybe something like letting setting aside 1 class to set them up and then letting them work on these projects once a week when they have a double block (they have an extra 40 minutes of class-time after lunch). Give them a month or so and they can host a small presentation of their projects. I would need to investigate further into the logistics of the presentation, but it does seem like an interesting way to get the students interested.
