2024 Math Fair Edmonton

The Math Fair & Unfair is a popular biannual event for elementary and junior high school students held at the main University of Alberta campus. The Math Fair component of the event is hosted by Elementary Education students (teachers-in-training) taking our MATH 160 course. The MATH 160 students create and prepare dozens of puzzles and games, and engage with the children during their visit to stimulate problem solving and logical reasoning. The Math Unfair component of the event is hosted by graduate students from the Department of Mathematical Sciences. The graduate students invite the children to try a variety of two-player games and encourage them to develop strategies for playing wisely. The Math Fair & Unfair event takes place in March and November each year. The Math Fair component of the event is based on the SNAP Math Fair philosophy.
