About this resource

Six historically Black mathematicians and scientists, Katherine Johnson, Jesse Ernest Wilkins Jr., Euphemia Lofton, Marjorie Lee Browne, George Washington Carver, and Elbert Frank Cox, are profiled on individual biography posters, alongside a definition-of-a-mathematician poster and a motivational quote poster. The eight-poster set is supplied as six separate print-ready files sized for A3, A4, US Letter, 11x14, 16x20, and 8x10 printing, so a teacher selects the one file matching their printer or print shop rather than resizing anything themselves. A guide page suggests framing, laminating, or hanging the posters with adhesive hooks or Velcro, and recommends using them as lesson starters, discussion prompts, or math journal writing prompts.

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 math journal prompts, having students make a real-world connection to each mathematician's work

Skills covered

Classroom display assembly — teachers select and print the correctly sized poster file for their printer or print shop and mount it for display.

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 resizing anything.
