Math fair by MacNair Secondary students

The  Math fair by the MacNair Secondary  School students was amazing. There were such new ideas of representing the things I never thought, such as representing the integers ( their multiplication, division of negative, positive numbers) in the fun and interesting ways like " Did the turtle eat the cookie". I was really impressed by their ideas. I believe that students have a lot of potentials, emerging thoughts, and innovative ideas and they look at things through a different lens which is more meaningful to them. In addition to this, It was pleasing to see how the stories they made led them to solve the linear equations and made more sense to them which was much more effective than simplifying solving for the variable. " Fire and the water metaphors for positive and negative integers were interesting to see. I wish the best for those students and their teacher who is successful to build the student's faith in him. I wish for their success and hope that they would make a difference in the traditional ways of thinking about math and My big thanks to them and to their teacher for imparting new ideas to me and to my fellow mates.
