Math Mathematician Project Guide

This document provides a rubric for a mathematician project. It outlines the requirements for 5 sections: a cover sheet, biographical page, acrostic, license plate design, and obituary. Points are assigned for meeting specifications within each section, such as including the mathematician's name and life dates. Creativity is encouraged for an extra credit social media profile. The rubric provides 100 total points and lists 48 potential mathematicians to research. Students must complete the project individually about a mathematician of their choice and turn it in by the due date.
