Africa Counts Claudia Zaslavsky Prindle Weber & Schmidt 1973
Art and the Computer Melvin L. Pruett Mc Graw-Hill 1984
Math Equals: Biographies of Women Mathematicians + Related Activities
Teri Perl Addison-Wesley 1978
These are books I've had for years--don't know it they are in print still.
For a required project, students can read a selected chapter from one of
these books, summarize it and relate it to their own lives. Or do a 3-d
geometry project or collect and analyze stat data. I get comments like "I
didn't know women (or Africans) could do mathematics." Also get insightful
reviews that they are now looking at patterns from a mathematical viewpoint
with good analyses of a pattern not in the book.
