Ms. Branch, eighth-grade Conwell math teacher, gave students the opportunity to research and present on historical figures of the Black and African American community who made an impact on math.

“The students created a project honoring the excellence of African and Black Americans and their contributions to mathematics throughout history,” Ms. Branch said.

Below is section 82 students A. Capps and M. Crawfords research on Dr. David Blackwell, which they presented live on the 2/18/22 ACWAO show.
