Exit math SNAP fair

I had a fabulous time attending the Math fair at the Museum of Anthropology. I was amazed by the way the young students presented their projects. They were well-organized, confident and very clear in their explanations. The learners connected with the artifacts at the museum and created a math problem which was very creative. The students were non- competitive and they were all proud presenting their projects and I even had the chance to ask them how and where they got all these ideas.
The 1st station I attended, I even got a small reward of “Thank you” which really made me feel so special. I was not only warmly welcomed but got a small note for the participation. :) During my short practicum, I observed how teachers where praising students with a pencil, sticker or even treats. They loved it and that encourage participation in class.    

I will try my best to organize a math fair during my practicum, as math is not only about formulas, worksheet and problem- solving.
