Historical Research: How to Fit Minority and Women's Studies into Mathematics Class
Saraco, Margaret R.
Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, v14 n2 p70-76 Sep 2008
This article presents a lesson for studying minority and women's contributions to the field of mathematics in the middle school classroom. This lesson may be able to stem the tide of the shrinking number of students entering the field of mathematics by helping them become interested in its history. Nonetheless, this project encourages students to work together. An activity sheet and rubric for assessing student work are included. (Contains 2 figures and 15 resources.)
