Conditional Statements Doodle Notes

These guided notes on conditional statements (If, then...) are perfect for a logic course or for High School Geometry.

The 6 page doodle note lesson includes:

• conditional statements
• truth values of conditionals
• related conditional statements - inverse, converse, and contrapositive
• practice with inverse and converse and contrapositive
• biconditional statements
• Law of Syllogism
• Law of Detachment
• practice and examples

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.

The downloadable PDF includes 6 student pages, directions, samples, answer keys, and info.

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!
