On Monday, March 17 you will draw the name of
a mathematician in class. Every student will research a different mathematician.
You will spend class on Monday researching
in the library materials (encyclopedia, books) for information about your mathematician. If you cannot find enough information,
you may choose to draw another name and continue with your research.
On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday you will have an opportunity
to research online and to use computer applications to create your brochure/poster/presentation. You may work at home
home over the weekend if your wish to work on it some more. Most of you should finish by Friday. The due date is Monday,
March 24.
CONTENT AREAS REQUIRED:
- A title for the brochure
