Special Angle Pairs Along a Transversal & Theorems with Parallel Lines: "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 special angle pairs- alternate interior- alternate exterior- corresponding- vertical- same-side interior- same-side exterior- theorems for parallel lines that intersect a transversal- converses of the theorems- using linear pairs and the special angle pairs to find missing angle measures- 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! 3 pages are included, plus samples, answer keys, 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. -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! -My 7th grader loved using these doodle notes to have a visual guide to different angle relationships. This is the first time using doodlenotes, so he initially had a difficult time figuring out what to do, but showing him the included examples helped a lot. -Helped visual learners make sense of angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal. Being able to color-code angle pairs helped students. -I love doodle notes! It's a way to keep those who finish early engaged on the lesson and distracting others.
