Description
Exponents (a basic introduction) "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 sheet, answer the questions, and color, doodle or embellish. Then, they can use it as a study guide later on.
Content includes:
- base and exponent
- exponents as repeated multiplication
- how to simplify an expression with an exponent (with practice problems)
- dealing with exponents with a negative base (This part is just a small strip at the bottom that you can cut off if your class does not cover negative numbers.)
- the power of an exponent
- intro to exponential functions for students who are ready
- zero power
- real-world example
- practice
