Percent Change Doodle Notes

Percent Change, Markup, and Discounts: visual interactive "doodle note" page

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:
- how to calculate percent change
- meaning of markup
- finding & working with markup & discount
- graphic reminders to build retention
- 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!

1 page is included, plus an answer key, sample, and info.

Reviews from other teachers:

-I love the doodle notes and use them as often as I can. This was a great addition to my consumer math unit for my 12th grade discrete math class!

-Excellent interactive notebook resource.

-Clear and concise; my students love these note taking guides!

-Love these Doodle Notes! Using them over the summer for tutoring!

-Students enjoyed getting to color in math class while taking notes. It was easy to complete on my screen so students could watch while listening and completing their notes.
