Description
Excited to try Decorated notes but need a product that will fit inside your interactive notebooks? Then Decorated Note Brochures are perfect for you!
Research shows that students who sketch, color, or doodle while listening to instruction tend to have better recall. These Decorated Note Brochures combine coloring, note taking, examples, and creative visual triggers to help students remember mathematical concepts.
Place value is an important concept for both elementary students and middle schoolers as they move into working more in depth with decimals by comparing, ordering, plotting, and working with negative decimals. This is part of a review unit I do at the beginning of the year but could easily be used in any elementary classroom.
Also included is the output practice page (2 to a page) which includes more practice with writing and naming numbers and place values.
This Decorated Note Brochure is also part of the Unit 0 Bundle
I have the students pick up, color, and cut out the list of place values (there are two to the page). I then have them place them on their notes where they think they go as I walk around to see which students have not yet mastered the topic. I will usually give hints to those students that they need to check it again. We also discuss the lack of a “oneth’s” place mostly making fun of how ridiculous that word would sound.
I simply have my students pick up their page on their way into class. After bell work they can fold and begin coloring the front of their brochure. My only requirements are that students must listen, they must take all applicable notes, and they must stop coloring/doodling when I am finished teaching. They are welcome to finish coloring and decorating after their classwork is complete or at home/in their free time.
I typically give students a few extra problems to complete that they work out on the right side of their notebooks.
Project the template onto your board, screen using a projector or Elmo, or use powerpoint or your Smart Board software. I cut and paste into ActivInspire and write directly on my smartboard.
