Asymptotes Doodle Notes

Asymptotes (horizontal, vertical, and slant/oblique) and holes: 2-page "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:
- how to compare degree and factor to determine types of asymptotes
- how to find any holes and write equations for vertical asymptotes, horizontal asymptotes, and/or slant asyptotes
- practice with each type

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!

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

Reviews from other teachers:

  -Great resource. My students loved coloring it and refer back to it many times to help them through graphing and identifying asymptotes.

-I, like many of my students, learn better with color....so I used many of the doodle notes to help myself study.

-My students loved using this resource for a review center.

-Thanks so much! I was able to use this and bring my doodle notes into my Honors math classes.

-This was an extremely helpful tool when introducing Rational Functions! Students enjoyed the organization of the notes and coloring in afterwards.
