2 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
Meet Raye Montague--the hidden mastermind who made waves in the U.S. Navy! After touring a German submarine in the early 1940s, young Raye set her sights on becoming an engineer. Little did she know sexism and racial inequality would challenge that dream every step of the way, even keeping her greatest career accomplishment a secret for decades. Through it all, the gifted mathematician persisted--finally gaining her well-deserved title in history: a pioneer who changed the course of ship design forever. The Girl With a Mind for Math: The Story of Raye Montague is the third book in a riveting educational series about the inspiring lives of amazing scientists. In addition to the illustrated rhyming tale, you'll find a complete biography, fun facts, a colorful timeline of events, and even a note from Montague herself!

Similar to the Hidden Figures movie that came out a while ago, this biography by Julia Mosca showcases the brilliant minds of women that were often overlooked by history. This book could also be transformed into a readers theatre, using this great lesson plan as a guide: http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/readers-theatre-1... The UDL coincides with Sustaining Effort & Persistence fostering collaboration and

ebrown community. It does this during the process of the RT, the students relying on one another for the production. The ESOL strategy I would use would be #27. Writing headings that show introductions or transition from one idea to another. This would be easy to achieve by creating signs that have each woman‘s name on them. #ucflae3414f19 4y
fabozzia This looks like a great book! It is so important for students to read things like this. Also, some students will connect with this in so many different ways. 4y
DrSpalding I recently purchased this book! I like your idea of creating the signs for each of the women. Creating a readers theater is a wonderful idea! This could be used in social studies, math and language arts. 4y
