There are two types of math fairs: teacher driven and student driven.
Teacher driven math fairs are usually used for the earlier grades and teachers set up the the actual stations for parents and students to participate in. This will give them a chance to interact with each other and discuss their findings in different ways. Some examples of the stations that are set up are graphing and number games.
Student driven math fairs are similar to science fairs except it deals with mathamatical problems. This is often done in later grades and judges are present to give out awards to the best activity. Later that day, students and parents can look at all the exhibits and see the awards.
