Excited to try drawing or sketch 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.

This Unit 1 Bundle contains the following doodle notes:

Greatest Common Factor Decorated Notes

Least Common Multiple Decorated Notes

Adding & Subtracting Decimals Decorated Notes

Multiplying Decimals Decorated Notes

Dividing Decimals Decorated Notes

These notes are grouped together into the Decimals Bundle. It is mainly a review of 5th grade standards but is also very important to 6th grade computation and number sense skills. We complete it at the beginning of the year so that they can review the skills weekly for the rest of the school year.

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.
