Objective:  Students will create a math poster for the classroom or school.  The poster will display something that will be used as a resource to Altaqwa College student. 

Topic:  Browse through your Math book to find an idea, concept, formula, or term(s) that you can convey in a poster.  Be sure the topic is not too broad or complex to be communicated in your poster.  You must pick a topic that we have covered in class this school year.  Some topics might include, but not limited to:

·         Properties in math

·         Exponents/Scientific notation

·         Slopes/Equations of a line

·         Percents

·         Formulas (area, perimeter, circumference, volume)

·         Inequalities

·         Many more topics

Message/Concept:  Your poster will be displayed in a math board.  Its intention is to help math students gain a better understanding of a topic or concept.  Your poster should be available to help students understand the topic discussed.  The poster could be considered a resource to any secondary student!  ALL information must be 100% accurate.  Double check your math!

Presentation:  Must be done on A3 Paper Size or using Software (print on A3 Paper size).  Try to make your poster unified (easy to follow) and balanced.  Try to create a clever, creative illustration.  Use any type of medium, supplies, textures you like.  Names MUST be written on the back of the poster.

Neatness:  Your project should be attractive, neat, easy to read/follow and colorful.  Make the viewer want to stop and read your poster.

Assessment:  Posters will be hung and assessed by the teacher and other students, using the same rubric sheet.  A final grade will be determined by the teacher.

Pointers about Posters

·         The purpose of any poster is to announce something or sell something.

·         The poster tells readers what they have to gain by following the poster’s advice or suggestions, or at least offers important information.

·         Every poster attempts to gain and hold attention. 

·         Posters should be amusing or eye-catching. 

·         Posters can use dramatic situations, slogans, a play on words, rhymes, or popular sayings.

·         SIMPLICITY – the best posters are simple and easy to read.  Too many colors, pictures or fancy lettering will detract from the poster’s message.

·         Everything in a poster should work toward its purpose.

·         No part of a poster should overpower another.

Workmanship – this is the overall quality of the poster, including lettering, coloring, pictures, and message.  Quality workmanship results in outstanding posters!
