For the math portion of this project, students will be rotating through a series of stations involving the Renaissance time period. Students will be gathering information on famous Mathematicians of this era using the Internet, reference books, and CD-ROMs. They will using a data collection grid for this process. Mathematicians will be one of the expert groups at the culminating Renaissance Faire. Also at this time students will be practicing skills which develop math knowledge, strategy, and communication as determined and required by the Illinois State goals, standards, and benchmarks. The research and skills will be attained through a seven-day station rotation. Below is the schedule displaying the activities:
