Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Read short biographies to identify contributions made by Black mathematicians and scientists.
Teaching tips
Print only the one file sized for your printer or print shop rather than opening all six
Use the posters as a lesson starter, asking students to identify the one-word summary describing each mathematician's contribution
Laminate or frame the posters for durability if displaying them long-term
Assign the posters as maths journal prompts, having students make a real-world connection to each mathematician's work
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Why are six separate poster files provided instead of one?
Each file contains the same eight-poster set pre-sized for a different print format, A3, A4, US Letter, 11x14, 16x20, and 8x10, so a teacher only opens the file matching their printer or print shop rather than resising anything.
