Converting between scientific notation and standard form: 2 page visual "doodle notes" set ... ... with interactive tasks for building stronger retention & understanding of scientific notation! 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:- why we use scientific notation for numbers with many digits- understanding powers of ten- how to write in scientific notation- how to convert back into standard form- difference between positive and negative powers of ten- visual connections as tips and reminders- reminders about which direction to move the decimal point- 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: -Used it with my advance 7th graders. They loved it, they keep asking when we are going to do notes -We have this displayed proudly on the wall in our home school classroom after my child completed this doodle and fun fact sheet. My oldest has ADHD and on the autism spectrum, so learning the traditional way can be difficult and just plain boring for her at times. This doodle sheet was the first of now many we had ever used. I wish i decided to take a chance on this sooner. It has helped her retain information in such a different way that its mind blowing. This scientific notation sheet is fun, engaging, and in depth without being an overload of information. I am extremely pleased with the layout of this worksheet and the thought that went into it. I since then have purchased many others and will continue. Recommend for any instructor, home school or not to incorporate this doodle and fun fact sheet into their math curriculum. -My summer bridge students loved this notetaking idea. They shared that it helped them make connections because learning the language is hard and the font and being able to make the notes their own - helped them understand the concept. -Doodle notes just add that extra element to learning a concept. I liked having this to help reinforce the concept of scientific notation with my Chemistry students. -Always on the look out for a way to teach scientific notation outside of science class. This looks like it will do the trick for some. Love you Math Giraffe.
