Volume and Surface Area Doodle Notes

Surface Area and Volume: "doodle notes" - visual note taking pages with interactive tasks for building stronger retention of volume and surface area concepts for 3D figures

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.

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:

- definitions

- visual representation of volume and surface area

- steps for finding volume and surface area

- examples for finding surface area and volume of rectangular prisms

- units used for each

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

Reviews from other teachers:

-I used this for summer school support. I thought it was such an engaging way to get students to think about complex concepts.

-The Doodle Notes this author creates are fantastic all around. The Doodle Notes are an engaging way for students to take notes that includes pictures, and applying what they have learned.

-I loved these notes. They covered everything, and are designed in a fun and engaging way. My students enjoyed being able to fill them out as we went!

-This was easy to use for my Face to Face and Virtual Learners. We use the 5 E's. It is great for this type of lesson planning. Great product.

-I used this resource as a reference sheet for my year 6 students. Great resource which meant they were able to check the steps in the formula in order to calculate volume and surface area.

-This was a fun resource to use. We were able to discuss in detail what we were going to do. I did this as day 2 of this standard/lesson. It was a relaxing way to cover the material.

-This is a great resource to organize the algorithms for area and volume. The students used it as a reference to check back to when reviewing.
