Measurement Conversions - Multiplying & Dividing to go between Feet and Inches, and Minutes, Seconds, and Hours "doodle notes" -When students color or doodle in math class, it activates both hemispheres of the brain at the same time. There are proven benefits of this cross-lateral brain activity:- new learning- relaxation (less math anxiety)- visual connections- better memory & retention of the content!Students fill in the sheets, answer the questions, and color, doodle or embellish. Then, they can use it as a study guide later on.Content includes:- Converting between units of length - feet and inches- How, when, and why to multiply versus divide by 12 for lengths- Using remainders for leftover small units- Converting between units of time - minutes, seconds, and hours- How, when, and why to multiply or divide once or twice by 60 for different time units and going in different directions for conversions- Sums and differences with units of length (ex: 1 foot, 3 inches + 3 feet, 11 inches)- Visual triggers and models for concept & retention- generic labeling too to remember the general format for small units versus large units- Practice & Examples- Word problems with unit conversions- Mixed practice pageCheck out the preview images for more detail about this item and the research behind it. 4 pages are included, plus answer keys, samples, and info. ________________________________________________________________________ Reviews from other teachers: -I love doodle notes and so do my students! This was a great way to introduce converting measurements. I even had them glue it into their math journals to reference back to. -Very helpful for my students!! Working through the Doodle Notes with my students helped them visualize this math skill MUCH better. I found students referring to these notes often during this unit and when I had spiraled these skills before and after testing. -All the A's possible! Love love love! Amazing for my SpEd students - they don't even need a fidget toy! -This was a great activity that students were able to work on while I was gone for the day. -I used this in my special education classroom and it really helped my students grasp the concept
