Graphing & Writing Equations of Lines in Point Slope Form - Visual Interactive "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:- identifying the x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and slope- formula for an equation in point-slope form- steps for graphing a line- working with graph form, equation form, ordered pairs, and a table- writing multiple versions of the same equation by using different points- practice and examplesCheck out the preview images for more detail about this item and the research behind it.Visual note taking strategies like sketch notes or doodle notes are based on dual coding theory. When we can blend the text input with graphic/visual input, the student brain processes the information differently and can more easily convert the new learning into long-term memory.This strategy also integrates the left and right hemispheres of the brain to increase focus, learning, and retention! 2 pages are included, plus answer keys, samples, and info. _______________________________________________________________________ Reviews from other teachers: -My students love doodle notes, even the ones who do not care to color. They all like how they are organized. I do make all of my students use the same color for certain concepts, this helps it to stand out on any and all worksheets...for example slope (m) is always blue. Every time they see blue in their equation they will know it is the slope. Has worked very well for me. -My students loved being able to color in the required information to support their learning style. It is a great support for emergent and ESL learners. Students were able to download a copy into their personal files for later reference if the original was lost. -I love all of these Doodle Notes! They work great in my adjusted class for students with learning disabilities. They force me to slow down and doodle and also allow the students some creativity. I am a firm believer in the work you give needing to be aesthetically appealing to gain and hold student engagement. -I use these as PDFs and then can write on them using my iPad this makes the lesson interactive and allows students to participate even online. -My students love this as a change of pace to our normal notes. When I can I try to add in Doodle notes. I like that there are the key ideas along with examples.
