WebQuest
A Mathematician Webquest
Process
In order to develop the final product of the math mathematician project correctly, you need to have a thorough understanding of your mathematician.
One way to get to that point is to collect and analyze information from certain web sites and print sources. This is your mathematical mission:
1. Each participant will print a copy of the Note Taking Table to help in answering your questions.
2. Use the sites listed below and the print sources in the library to complete the Note Taking Table.
3. Each participant should print a copy of the What Makes a Good Website? form. Complete the page for one web site that you used for the WebQuest.
4. As soon as steps 1 through 3 are finished each student must synthesize his or her information.
5. Once all of the steps have been completed, you should have enough information to begin your PowerPoint presentation.
