Great Math Minds – Students read facts about three female mathematicians. They use these facts to write a paragraph about one of these women. Not only are facts a component of the paragraph, but children are asked to include a reflection as to why the woman is a positive role model. This critical thinking component of writing is necessary for children to move beyond the template type of writing that is often required in schools. The activity is available on two levels: primary and intermediate and correlates with the Connections Strand of NCTM’s standards.
