- Choose a mathematician you are interested in
learning about.
(Make sure you aren’t choosing a mathematician that has already been
chosen by
other committee members).
- Review your decision with the teacher before
you start
your research.
- Use the 2 days
allotted for research days to visit the
resources provided and any others you find on your own.
Choose at least 2 sources you plan on using
to get information from.
- Take notes and jot down information from
sources that
you plan on using. (Keep track of where the information comes from so
you can
site the source)
-
Compile your information together to write a two-page
report about your mathematician. (Hint: Look at the report
requirements under “Learning Advice”
to ensure you do everything
required)
- On the designated day (TBA) turn in a rough
draft of
your report. I will give you feed back
of how you are doing.
-
Make any necessary changes in order to
complete your
report.
- Design a “baseball” style card including a
picture and
information about your mathematician. First
compile a rough sketch of what you want your
card to look like and
the information you plan on including on your card.
(Hint: Look at the baseball card requirements
under “Learning Advice” to ensure you
do everything required)
- Have a classmate
look over the rough draft of your
card to make sure you have met all of the requirements.
- Complete the
final baseball card.
- On the designated
day (TBA), present your mathematician to the math committee. You will be required to show your baseball
card and give a short presentation without reading the information
straight
from your report.
- Along with the
other members of the math committee, participate in creating a “Math
Hall of
Fame”. The “Hall of Fame” will be
displayed in the classroom.
