The Ted Lewis Workshop on SNAP Math Fairs 2011 takes place at the beautiful conference center above the town of Banff in Alberta. We start on Friday evening with a puzzle social as we make our way to the mountains. Conference continues all day Saturday and we will finish on Sunday at lunchtime.rnrn We will become inspired about math fairs in our schools, how they benefit the students as they celebrate mathematics education in allrnlevels.
