Complex Numbers Storybook
You will be creating a “children’s book” detailing the complex number.
Your book will contain:
 An introduction explaining what complex and imaginary numbers are (and how they differ). It would also
be a wise idea to explain what “I” is.
 An example of each:
o What is the Imaginary Unit.
o Identify complex numbers and write their conjugates learning target
o Add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers.
o Simplify quotients of complex numbers
 Detailed steps in each example explaining what is occurring and why? For example, why do you decide to
multiply a fraction by it’s complex conjugate?
 Illustrations
 And some sort of story element. Aren’t “children’s books entertaining? Have some sort of an entertainment
value. For example, Jessica in Complex Number land where everything is not real.”
Requirements:
 Minimum page requirement: 6 pages
 Color and attractive value (a minimum, every other page must contain an illustration related to your story)
 Book cover – you must be enticed to read your own book otherwise, others will not be; include a title and
your name
 Story pages – At least one page per topic. Including the examples, directions and illustrations.
 Does your story and examples make sense? Would it make sense if you were reading it on Math III student?
 RUBRIC MUST BE ATTACHED!
Final Project is due Friday – February 10, 2015
