Types of Displays

A form of display commonly used is the tri-fold board that will present the puzzle. The tools needed to solve the presribed puzzle are usually laid out on the table in front of the board.

There are many math fairs which do not make use of such display boards; their math problems are to be presented on art paper which lies flat on the table.

There have been math fairs, where such schools and parents are privleged to have many resources, that endorse the rule of having all the displays presented in three-dimensional format.

Children could also create displays where the main piece is a large board taped to the floor. This set-up transforms the visitors into the manipulative pieces needed in solving the math problem.
