Fieldtrips/Activities
·
Before Math Day, try to make contact with the field trip contact person.
·
Practice your route before Math Day!
·
All fieldtrips depart from the George Washington statue outside of Meany
Hall ten minutes prior to the start of the session.
·
A sign will be provided for you. Please hold it high so students can
identify you as their guide. When you depart, remember to leave your sign at
the statue.
·
Wear a watch, and leave exactly at the fieldtrip departure time, which is
written on the tickets.
·
Check to see that all participants have the correct ticket. If you have
not reached the maximum number of students allowed, you may take along stand-by
students.
·
When you arrive at your destination, collect tickets. When you bring the
students back to Meany, drop off the collected tickets at the registration
table in the designated box (not the swap table).
·
Guide your students to the fieldtrip, and at the end of the session,
guide them back to Meany. Politely, be the timekeeper, reminding the presenter
that you need to leave in 5 minutes. Schedules are tight, so it’s very
important to stay on time.

Presentation Sessions
·
Two volunteers will be assigned to a session. One person should stand
outside the building and direct people. Please ask students if they need any
help. Think back to high school, some of these students are shy and may
hesitate to ask for help. Be friendly! The second person should assist the
presenter in the room and help students get settled. If you are assisting the
presenter, please arrive early to help with set-up.
·
If the session fills, post a “Session Full” sign on the door. Please
stand outside the door and help people select and find another session.
·
If only one
volunteer is assigned to a session -- the priority is to aide the presenter.
