Celebrating Famous Black Mathematicians for Black History Month Digital or Print
I have compiled a list of 20 famous black mathematicians (this could be used for math or STEM classes), one for each day of February, Black History Month. This could be given to students as a slideshow to look through and fill out an attached worksheet (available digitally or through print) or be gone over on a day to day basis as a warm-up. Hopefully this exposure will also encourage students towards STEM careers, while celebrating the accomplishments of famous Black Mathematicians.

Importance of learning math skills

Benefits of learning math
Learning math has many benefits. It helps students:
- Begin to develop problem-solving, logical reasoning, and critical-thinking skills
- Grow their understanding of numbers and basic operations
- Understand how math is used in real-life situations
By ensuring that students have a solid foundation, teachers can help set them up for future success.
