Math Night – “Year of Pi”
Math Night is on Thursday April 2nd from 6:00-7:30pm. Come see how fun math can be! Parents, learn the math games your children are playing at school. Students, come learn a new game or try one of the math puzzles in the Puzzle Playground. Everyone can also take a walk in the Math Fair Gallery where students with a passion for math will have work on display. This year’s Math Night theme is the “The Year of Pi”. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080a49a9ae2da13-math1 - Sign up to bring a pie for Math Night!
Math Fair – March 30th thru April 3rd
This year’s Math Fair will be a non-competitive display of student creativity, passion, and talent in the field of mathematics. Students are encouraged to design, create, solve, calculate, write, build, record, any type of project that shows their love for mathematics.

A Few Math Fair Ideas
Here are a few Projects Ideas but please feel free to be creative.
Trick-or-Treat Candy Sort and Data display (1st
or 2nd grade) – Sort candy any way you want and create a graph to represent your Trick-or-Treat haul
· Trick-or-Treat Fermi problem (3rd
– 5th):
About how many fun size Snickers do you think were handed out to
Cascadia students on Halloween? About how many to all Seattle Public
School students? Enrico Fermi,
the Nobel Prize winning physicist, was well known for using survey data
and estimation to come up with close approximations to unanswerable math
questions.
· Trick-or-Treat candy surveys and conclusions about trends (any grade).
Do boys have a different favorite candy than girls? Do first graders have a different favorite Trick-or-Treat candy than 5th graders?
