Elementary School Math Fair Projects

Math fairs are slightly different than science fairs. They are usually set up so that visitors can have interactive experiences with different math games and concepts. They are usually set up so that visitors can have interactive experiences with different math games and concepts. Elementary school math fair projects may include activities like bingo and "fishing for numbers".

So find what you need to develop your fun math games...

Elementary school math fair projects can be designed for students only or for parents and students. When setting up your math fair projects for elementary school events you will want to make sure that you cover several math fair topics elementary level mathematicians can understand. You don't want to make the games too challenging, however, you also don't want to make them too easy. A selection of games from easy math topics, moderately difficult math topics and difficult math topics will help you to entertain you guests.

Another item that you will want to plan for when setting up a math fair are kids projects. The math projects that your students have been working on in class need to be displayed as a fair exhibit. This way parents can see what their kids have been working on, and kids can show off what they have learned.

Elementary math fair projects will need to be planned for, completed and set up well in advance of the actual math fair. You may even, want to plan for the math fair to coincide with your school's open house. Some of the projects that you may want your younger students to work on include:

Older students can use math concepts to create:

A couple of weeks before the math fair is to take place you will want to start putting together your displays and finishing up student math projects. You may even want to have your students create math themed invitations for their parents and grandparents. On the day of math fair set up the math fair games and finish putting up the students' math projects. For special class projects you may want to create written narratives that explains what went into the project, what math concept(s) was/were used and who worked on the project.

When the math fair begins have students welcome their guests to the fair and have a printed map of the fair. The map will show guests where to find their children’s displays and projects as well as where to find games and refreshments. This is a fun night that will help parents, teachers and students get to know one another a little bit better.
