If your students are searching for interesting project ideas, perhaps the ideas and related Web pages will be helpful. The teacher-driven Math Fair is generally used in earlier grades.
Teachers set up stations which allow students and their parents to learn about and experience math.
Examples for exhibits might include graphing, number games, and statistics. Student-driven math fairs are similar to Science Fairs except that student projects must deal with mathematical topics. If you look at this page you will see three examples of math fair projects completed by eighth grade students. Judges would then present awards to the best presentations. Students and parents could tour the exhibit in the evening to see the awards.
