Step 1: Choose a mathematician that you would like to be for a day and begin researching him or her. Step 2: Let your teacher know what mathematician you have chosen. Step 3: Put your self in the shoes of that mathematician and decide what you will be discussing at the convention. Step 4: Go to the resources page and find background information on the mathematican you have chosen. Be sure to find a picture of the mathematician. Print out all necessary information needed to complete this project. Step 5: Go to the resources page and find information on the work the mathematician has completed. Print out all necessary information needed to complete this project. Step 6: Choose a challenging problem that the mathematican you choose has worked on and possibly solved. Step 7: Go to the resources page and find information on the mathematicians most recent problem he/she has been working on. Print out all necessary information needed to complete this project. Step 8: Go through the 'recent' problem carefully, that you choose. Figure out all the steps involved in solving the problem. Step 9: Be able to explain the problem during your presentation. Step 10: Create a visual explanation of the problem you have chosen, include examples and possible solutions. Step 11: Create note cards for you presentation from the two-page write up on your mathematician. Step 12: The note cards and two-page write up need to include information about the mathematicians background (place of birth, date of birth, schooling, famous for, etc...), information about the mathematicians work (problems solved by him/her), and a detailed description of one of the mathematicins more famous problems that your are explaining in your presenation using visuals. Step 13: Come to class dressed for success. You should be dressed as the mathematician you have chosen. The picture you have found will come in handy for this. Step 14: On the meeting of the mind convention day you will give your ten- minute presentation to the class. Step 15: Your presentation must include background on the mathematician, work of the mathematician, and a detailed explaination of a problem. You must also have a visual. Step 16: You will be graded on the rubic, located in the evaluation section. You may find information from other sites or reference books. Be sure to cite the references where this information was cited from at the end of your two-page write-up. Enjoy and have fun with this project!!!
