Two Column Proofs in High School Geometry : Interactive "doodle notes" -   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.   Content includes: - big idea: going from the given to the goal - how to justify steps - converting statements into equations that can be manipulated - working with diagrams - step by step for writing a proof - what to do when you get stuck - options - how to create new lines in the proof - combining previous lines using substitution and the transitive property - being careful about congruent vs. equal!! - practice and examples   Check out the preview images for more detail about this item and the
