Spring Break Extra Credit
Geometry Extra Credit for Spring Break: Mathematician “Baseball” Card
You can earn up to 5 extra credit points toward your homework score by completing the following project over Spring Break.  Do some research on a mathematician you have heard mentioned and about whom you would like to know more.  Similar to what you would find on a baseball card about your favorite player, create a card identifying this mathematician.  Some things you may want to include:
- Front      – name, picture, what he/she is famous for (ex. Euclid – “Father of      Geometry”)
- Back      – biographical information (ex. when and where did they live, what did      they study), important mathematical findings 
Your projects will be assessed based on creativity, effort, and a demonstration of your learning.  I expect that these will be completed over break, so the quality of your work should reflect this.  Again, this is a time to be creative in how you think about math, so have fun and enjoy your break!
