Percent Doodle Notes

Introduction to percents & converting between fractions, decimals, & percents: 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:
- meaning of percent
- converting a percent
- different forms of a number (fraction, decimal, percent conversions)
- 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!

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

Reviews from other teachers:

-We used this resource to add to our Math Interactive Notebook. As we reviewed for our yearly state exams this was used frequently by the students. Thanks for making such a great product. :)

-I used this to reinforce concepts that were taught in class. Some students were able to use this as a test aide during the quiz.

-I love everything about Doodle notes. These are so helpful when teaching students remotely how to take notes and keep track of skills taught so they have them to reference at a later date.

-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!

-I used this with my students that have learning difficulties and they found it very easy to refer to when they were working on conversions.
