The Task

Each student will create a “Mathematician Trading Card” from the list of famous Mathematicians. Make sure that another classmate has not already chosen this name, by checking with the teacher’s roster, since there will be no duplicates within the class.

Each “trading card” will contain the Mathematician’s picture and best known for accomplishment on the front, and biographical information and career highlights on the back.

These are examples of some creative trading cards, from various topics:
