Percent Equations 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:
- "What" becomes the variable
- "Is" becomes an equals sign
- "Of" becomes multiplication
- a percent is rewritten in its decimal form
- converting answers back into a percent when needed
- word problems with percents
- practice and examples

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, a blank option, samples, and info.

Reviews from other teachers:
-I used this to illustrate -literally- the concepts that we learned in class. The students enjoyed decorating this pages and pasted these into their math notebook.
-I love these, and so do my kids. We used it as a review in how to write the problem as an equation and then solve.
-Love your DOODLE NOTES! I use them for my students interactive notebooks.
-These are amazing. My 6th graders are begging for more!
-Easy to print and use to make the mental picture in the students head when learning new concepts or to re-enforce concepts already taught. Students enjoy the coloring and adding doodles to their notes.
-Love these doodle notes for my RSP students
