However, animation teaching materials that introduce female mathematicians remain insufficient. This study used five software packages to produce an animation of ¨¦milie du Chatelet, a French female mathematician, in order to attract students¡¯ attention to the life stories of female mathematicians and to raise their recognition of the social contributions made by female mathematicians. It is anticipated that the learners can understand the exemplary role of the animated figure, develop the concept that mathematics and even science are gender-neutral, and cultivate gender consciousness. In this way, the learners are encouraged to explore science, develop interests in mathematics, and make scientific contributions to help advance the culture and civilization of human beings. %K Female Mathematician %K É %K milie du Châ %K telet %K Real Stories %K Animation Teaching Materials %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=111321
