Writing an Equation Doodle Note

Steps for solving a problem by writing an equation - visual interactive "doodle notes"   Students are guided through graphic notes for math problem solving through "Read, Understand, Plan, Write, Solve, and Check."   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: - problem solving strategy - Write a Equation - steps for the process - understanding what the algebraic equation needs to be - defining variables - writing, solving, and checking the so
