3d Figures Doodle Note Set

Space Figures (Polyhedra): 4 page visual interactive "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. Graphic doodle and sketch notes take full advantage of Dual Coding Theory (the way brains process visual and linguistic information) to maximize retention.

Content includes:

- different names for 3d shapes - solids, space figures, polyhedra

- identifying vertices, faces, and edges

- drawing in three dimensions

- drawing nets

- classifying pyramids & prisms (& understanding how to find the base(s))

- identifying cylinders, cones, and spheres

- visualizing with nets, working with bases that are parallel / congruent

- examples & interactive tasks

Check 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!

4 pages are included, plus answer keys, samples, and info.

Reviews from other teachers:

-Excellent resource for my students' INB's. I have purchased many of your Doodle Notes, and I am always amazed by your talent. Thank you!

-Fabulous way to engage students in taking notes. This is great! I wish my teachers had something like this while I was in school. Giving students the opportunity to color code, doodle, and draw while they are learning is a multi-sensory extravaganza!
