Famous Mathematician Bingo and Research Project

I realized that my students knew very little about the mathematicians behind the math they were learning and I decided to give them an opportunity to gain some background knowledge. I went to Wikipedia to create brief bios for 24 influential mathematicians and then turned that information into a game of bingo. After hearing a little about each mathematician during bingo, students will choose 1 mathematician to research further and create a resume for.

Included:

-Bingo board for students to fill in the names wherever they choose

-Brief bios for 24 mathematicians for the teacher to read during bingo

-Resume/research instructions

-Example resume

-Resume rubric
