    This document provides instructions for a student project on researching famous mathematicians. Students will research one mathematician and present their findings using one of several formats: a mobile, oral report dressed as the mathematician, a collage, or a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation must include biographical information outlined in an "Let Me Introduce You" form, which covers the mathematician's name, lifespan, birthplace, death age, historic world events during their life, education, family status, occupations, contributions to mathematics, two interesting life events, and bibliography. Students will be assessed on completing the form, including all research in their presentation, creativity, individual effort, and presentation quality.
