Welcome to the SNAP Foundation's Math Fair Website
Are you interested in inspiring your students in Mathematics? Become better problem solvers to think outside the box? How about sharing with them some wonderful and fun recreational mathematics problems?
SNAP Math Fairs will do just that! And this website will not only show you how but will also provide all the resources you'll need to get started!
A SNAP math fair is a non-competitive event that gives teachers an opportunity to have their students do problem solving with a particular goal in mind. The math fair can be adapted to almost any curriculum and set of standards, and it will motivate and inspire all of the students.
This website describes what a SNAP math fair is, how it differs from a conventional science fair, and why it works so wonderfully.
It also explains how to organize a SNAP math fair, how some schools have adapted the concept to their particular academic objectives, and provides resources and contacts to help you get started.
SNAP math fairs have a long and respectable track record. Students and teachers have presented them with great success in a variety of jurisdictions — in Sweden, in Africa, in Austria, in Canada, and in the United States.
