Background
Mathematics plays a role in everything we do; how we think; and in our
future. Our experience shows that when kids are engaged in
problem-solving about things that they do; and that is of interest to
them; math becomes fun. Whether it is figuring out how much force you
need to tackle a football player of a certain weight; or how many
minutes Michael Jordan must play on the court to make a million
dollars; or understanding the study of repeating geometrical patterns
in a quilt; math can be fun! It can also be intellectually
stimulating.
Benchmark: 80% of middle and high school students complete a research
project by 2008.
Local Math Fairs
Over the last 5 years, the Focus on Mathematics math fairs have become our biggest and most exciting activity. Last year, over 2,500 students participated by developing over 1,400 projects. This year, we aim to increase the numbers of students participating in the 16 math fairs held throughout the districts.
