Slope Doodle Notes
Slope "doodle notes" - visual note taking pages with interactive tasks for building stronger retention of slope of a line lesson concepts in Algebra
Boost your students' focus and memory! The blend of graphic and linguistic input in these guided visual notes helps students' brains to convert the information to long-term memory more easily.
Doodling has been proven to activate the brain's pathways just enough to keep it from daydreaming, without distracting from the learning at hand!
"Doodle notes" are a unique visual note-taking method with built-in features that increase focus and memory by taking advantage of a collection of brain research, including Dual Coding Theory.
When students color, sketch, and get creative with the doodle note strategy in math class, it integrates both hemispheres of the student brain. This helps maximize neural connections and offers many benefits:
- new learning
- focus
- relaxation (less math anxiety)
- visual connections
- better memory & retention of the content!
Students fill in the sheets, answer the questions, and color, doodle, sketch, or embellish. Then, they can use it as a study guide later on.
Content for this set of doodle notes on SLOPE includes:
- main ideas - slope as rate of change, rise over run, "m"
- calculating slope of a line from a graph
- calculating slope of a line from ordered pairs
- slopes of horizontal and vertical lines
- graphing a line with a particular slope
- comparing slopes
- greater absolute value = steeper
- examples & practice
