For AIS instruction, this lesson has been modified as follows: In the directions, students have been given 3 specific mathematicians to choose from. They have also been asked to write a 2-page report instead of a 3-page. In the Allowed Sites, students have been linked directly to Web sites about the three mathematicians instead of an index of mathematicians. Click here for the original version of this lesson. | |
