Poster Assignment

General Rules

There are two to three people on each poster team. Each poster team produces one poster.
Each poster needs to be about 3 feet by 2 feet and should be on poster board. The poster may be a bit larger but should not be any smaller.
Each poster can have hand drawn pictures, computer generated, neatly cut pictures with computer generated text, or any combination thereof.
Each poster needs a title line that presents the general theme of the poster.
Each poster must have at least three facts related to mathematics (formulas are not needed, but if they are for one of these facts and the formula is accurate and applies, it can be up to a 10 point bonus).
Each poster must have two additional facts that relate to the topic but not necessarily related to mathematics.
Each poster must be neat and well organized.
A computer-written bibliography (with at least three entries) MUST to be included on the back of each poster. I will verify the sources. If there is no bibliography, there will be no grade for the project.
Possible topics include space exploration, city parks, national parks, baseball and baseball parks, football and other sports and sports parks, school, music, art, architecture, motorcycles, car engines, etc. If you are not sure about a topic, please come see me.
