The grade 6 students will be presenting their Interactive Math and Science Fair at two different locations.

On December 3rd, 6DM will be presenting at the Planetarium. In attendance will be students from other schools and UBC Math Education students. On December 12th, 6HN and 6VS will be presenting at the Vancouver Aquarium to the general public, and UBC Math Education Students.

The students who will present at the Planetarium (6DM) have tailored their questions to match the displays in the courtyard where they will be presenting in that area of the Space Centre. The students presenting at the Vancouver Aquarium have tailored their problems to coalesce with the various exhibits around the venue and will be presenting as near as possible to the relevant exhibits.

These interactive and student-driven displays are an innovative approach to learning scientific knowledge and mathematical problem-solving skills in unison. While actively solving mathematical puzzles, students expand their ability to solve math problems skills and engage in a process of scientific discovery.

We invite the school community to attend. If you wish to purchase tickets for the Aquarium for that date in advance, the school will be organizing a group rate of $12.50 for adults and $9.50 for students. Please contact the junior school front desk if you wish to take advantage of this.
