What is a “Foldable Note”?
A foldable note is a three dimensional graphic organizer styled page of info in a student’s notebook
Can take on a variety of forms, complexities and detail
They “reinvent” the traditional style of writing notes
Foldable Notes Designed to further engage students in the mapping of
their math learning
Can be used effectively to present new information and/or to summarize content
Might just reinvigorate your practice
“Foldable Notes” are NOT…
…a time filler for class time
…guaranteed to raise your test scores or make every kid understand
…limited to just basic content

How does one “make” a Foldable Note?
Here’s what you need:Source of inspiration - Colleague, friend, mentor
- Pintrest, Social Networking, etc.
Creativity Willingness (courage?) to take a risk
The basic steps:1) Brainstorm the “need to know info”?
2) How can that info be clearly mapped, organized, engaging for kids to create?!
3) Is it interactive?
Your turn!Your task: Create foldable note that could be used as an instructional tool for your students.
1. Choose a topic: Slope
Types of angles
Derivative/Integral rules
FUNCTIONS
2. Brainstorm the
“need to know info”
3. What could kids create?
4. Is it interactive?
