Information

Math Expo is to offer students the opportunity to think deeply about mathematics as it applies to everyday life.

$overview of lne math expo 2013$

The LNE Math Exposition will be held at the school. Projects entered should explore mathematical ideas of interest to the student. Be creative! Explore your own original idea or one of these examples:

Experiments in estimation, measurement, or problem-solving
Application of mathematics in navigation, astronomy, economics, photography, music, hobbies, etc.
Analysis, Trigonometry, Topology,
Statistics and Probability
Make a game using math concepts.
Write a biography of a famous mathematician
Explain an mathematical theory
Solve a problem using a mathematical formula

$steps in developing a math fair project$

Development and demonstration of mathematical concepts in an effective manner
Investigations which extend beyond the student’s everyday classroom investigations
Student creativity
Organization of ideas, thoroughness, and clarity
Appearance

$project guidelines these guidelines are set by the regional and state math fairs$

The explanation of your idea and your written mathematical process must be displayed on a project board. The project board is to show evidence of your mathematical thinking.
Each project must be labeled on the back of project board with a 3x5 index card with the following information:

Name of individual or class. Class projects should name presenters representing the class.
Grade level
Class or Individual Project Title
Teacher/Coach Name
School Name

Any special equipment such as a microcomputer, printer, extension cord, power strip, etc. must be supplied by the presenter.
Quality Points will be awarded on a scale of 0 to 3: 0=Below Average, 1=Average, 2=Above Average, 3=Outstanding.
Individual projects may involve one or two students only. The day of the Exposition one or two students must be available for the presentation and interview for each project.
Student presenters must be present during the scheduled presentation and interview time for the category entered. Math related activity sessions are scheduled for students when they are presenting and interviewing.

Additional comments: Up to 5 extra points may be awarded for clearly demonstrating work or thinking beyond high expectations for grade level. Comments should reflect support for additional points awarded.
