Pythagorean Theorem: 2-page "doodle notes" - visual note taking pages with interactive tasks for building stronger retention of pythagorean theorem lesson concepts in Geometry
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!
* This resource is also available as part of a DISCOUNTED bundle: Basic Trig Bundle
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:
- What Pythagorean Theorem states
- Why it works (visual)
- How to use it
- Pythagoras - a teeny touch of history
- Examples
- Application Problems & Practice (Finding both legs and hypotenuse, finding distance on a coordinate plane)
- Using the converse to see if a triangle is right
Check out the preview 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!
