I teach students with brief notes that allot more time in class for

Brief Notes on Triangle Angle Sum Quick Notes My notes utilizes scaffolding instruction for student learning to slowly loosen the reins into students' hands. The notes cover the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem. covers a variety of examples but is not all encompassing of what they may experience. I highly encourage students to challenge themselves to figure out the remaining types of problems based on Triangle Angle Sum. The lesson does also cover exterior angle Sum Theorem as they often go together i

Brief Notes on Slope Guided Notes I typically teach this lesson two different days: one day about permutations and another day about combinations. I find my students do better with this method as it splits the lesson into two parts and then can be followed with a lesson for students to do both on one assignment as review. I teach students with brief notes that allot more time in class for students to practice material. I recommend splitting this lesson into two assignments, but also splitting th

Brief Notes on Classifying Quadrilaterals Quick Notes My notes utilizes scaffolding instruction for student learning to slowly lose the reigns into students' hands. The notes cover the types of quadrilaterals including Quadrilateral, Rectangle, Rhombus, Square, Trapezoid, and Kite. The notes also includes a quadrilateral family tree so that students can recognize quickly what shapes may also be labeled as other shapes up the tree (i.e. A square is also classified as a rhombus, rectangle, parall

Brief Notes on Classifying Triangles Quick Notes My notes utilizes scaffolding instruction for student learning to slowly loosen the reins into students' hands. The notes cover the types of triangles in regards to angles (Acute, Obtuse, Right) and equal side lengths (Scalene, Isosceles, Equilateral). The lesson also teaches about equiangular, but it is up to you if you wish to use this term. The lesson covers vocabulary and many students pick up on this lesson quickly. My advice is to take the e
