Math Myths and Legends by St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES

This project is intended to help introduction to Trigonometry students review topics that have been covered during the year. Since the students are selecting their own review topics, they can choose topics that they may not have fully understood the first time. Hopefully, writing about mathematics and incorporating it in a story will give them a chance to see these topics in a different way and understand them more fully. Further, since the students are working with PowerPoint, they are able to use shapes, motion, and color to represent and illustrate their stories.
