Black History Month
My students are doing a project on notable african american mathematicians. They have been given the choice to write a paper, brochure or power point (to differentiate). I had the mobile lab in this week to begin research. They were able to choose from a list of about 29 different people but if they found a name I left off the list they were more than welcome to choose that person as long as they fit the criteria, african american and in the area of mathematics.
I hope you don't mind if I use your idea. I wanted my geometry students to write a paper on an African American mathemetician to help them practice for the up coming writing SOL exam. This is a better idea. Thanks!
