Theoretical Probability Doodle Notes Set

Combinations, permutations, tree diagrams, the counting principle, and more in theoretical probability: 5 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:

- concept & definition for theoretical probability

- sample space

- creating and understanding tree diagrams for outcomes

- calculating probability of an event

- using the counting principle

- independent and dependent events

- permutations (and permutation notation)

- combinations (and combination notation)

- interactive tasks

- visual memory triggers

- 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!

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

Reviews from other teachers:

-My students love doodle notes! They are more engaged while we are introducing a topic, and I don't need to prep!

-Used extensively at both the beginning and ending of the topic. Children loved the resource.

-Doodle notes are my favorite, and I hear weekly that my students REALLY enjoy taking notes. These make math fun!

-Doodle Notes from Math Giraffe are always engaging for students. And it saves instructors considerable time in creating notes.

-Everything I needed. Nothing short of perfection.
