Work in a group of 2 to 4 people.
Create a Bristol board poster for the math class.
Your poster must contain written information and artwork.
It is important to make the poster informative and creative.
Each group member must also submit the group evaluation sheet. This
will be done in class once the assignment is completed. A copy of the
evaluation is included.

Choose a math concept (such as fractions, percents, polynomials)
and create a poster with information about the concept and
diagrams or pictures related to the concept.
Choose a famous mathematician and create a poster with
information about his/her life and major contributions to
Mathematics. Include a picture of the Mathematician and/or
diagrams explaining concepts developed by the Mathematician. A
table with a list of some famous Mathematicians is included - you
may search for a mathematician or use one of the people in the
given table.
If you have a different topic that you would like to explore, write
a brief description of the topic, submit it to me and I will let you
know if it is appropriate.
Every group MUST have a different topic. The topics will be
chosen of a first-come-first-serve basis. The first group to post
their topic on CHATT will be the group that does that topic. Your
CHATT posting MUST contain the names of your group members
and your topic.
