Description

**This project is designed for middle school students to research and create either a Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation of a famous mathematician/scientist throughout history. The following are included in this packet:

-- List of possible famous mathematicians/scientists to choose

-- Full and detailed rubric

-- PowerPoint / Slides Requirements (number of slides, content, etc...)

-- Requirements for resources (both book and online form)
-- Penalty for tardy/late or no project by deadline.

-- Whether to work alone or with a partner

-- This entire project may take around one full week of class time to execute. Trips/periods to the school library and computer lab (1 or 2 days each) would be very beneficial.

Student tested, teacher approved!**

**I have been a teacher now for over a collective 20 years, 15+ of those teaching each mathematical level in Pennsylvania schools ranging from Pre-Algebra to Pre-Calculus. All of my submissions have been used for my classes for multiple years to great success.

I work in a pull out resource high school algebra 1 classroom. I wanted to give my students a change of pace and be able to make a connection between a person actually discovered what we do in class. Some were very engaged and others, not so much. They did like a change of routine by working on their own and doing research. I will continue to use this going forward.
