Congruence Doodle Notes

All about what it means to be "congruent": 2 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:
- definition of congruent
- written notation & saying it aloud
- definition of bisect
- congruent segments
- congruent angles
- representing congruence on a diagram with hash marks
- writing a congruence statement
- being careful about equality vs. congruence
- practice & examples

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:

-My students loved this resource. It was not a boring set of notes and they got to customize and make it their own as they filled in the things that they needed. It is eye-catching and draws their attention.

-My students LOVE Doodle Notes! As always, an awesome product from Math Giraffe. I have purchased several of these now, and I see great engagement every time we use them.

-Comprehensive and easy to implement

-I was able to give the key for a sub to guide the class in taking these notes and was very impressed with what the students did and learned while I was gone.

-I love doodle notes! They are helping my low level students. Thank you so much.
