Angle Addition Postulate with roof trusses and Segment Addition Postulate with wall framing and studs!: 2 page visual "doodle notes" set -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:- definition of Segment Addition Postulate- diagrams showing the property- visual real-life situation with framing a wall using 2x4 studs- practice & examples finding missing segment lengths- definition of Angle Addition Postulate- diagrams showing the geometry- visual representation with 2 real types of roof trusses- practice & examples finding missing angle measures- *Includes expressions as angle measures - Students must write an equation to solve.- Challenge to find all angle measures in a roof trussCheck 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 loved this! It was super engaging and helped them see real-world connections to the concepts we were studying. -Used as a study guide for my daughter in Geometry! She is filling in the notes as a way to review the topics taught throughout the year! -I began using these with my struggling students and found success. Soon ALL of my students wanted to try them, so I gave it a try. I don't think I will ever go back! -I wish I had found Doodle Notes sooner! I throw them in our Interactive Notebooks every chance I get as a change of pace from usual notes and foldables. -A great alternative to normal notes, I used during summer school, and it was exactly the change the kids needed.
