Square Roots Doodle Notes

Finding and Understanding the Square Root of a Number: 1 page visual interactive "doodle notes" set -   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 sheets, answer the questions, and color, doodle or embellish. Then, they can use it as a study guide later on. Graphic doodle and sketch notes take full advantage of Dual Coding Theory (the way brains process visual and linguistic information) to maximize retention.   Content includes: - concept of root as the inverse of squaring a number - understanding roots as side lengths and squares as area - calculating a square root - positive and negative roots both being solutions of a variable squared - estimating a square root to the nearest integer (and as "between" two numbers based
