Divisibility Rules - Decorated Notes Brochure for Interactive Notebooks

Excited to try doodle notes but need a product that will fit inside your interactive notebooks? Then Doodle Note Brochures are perfect for you!

Research shows that students who sketch, color, or doodle while listening to instruction tend to have better recall. These Doodle Note Brochures combine coloring, note taking, examples, and creative visual triggers to help students remember mathematical concepts.

The ability to remember the rules of divisibility greatly facilitates the ability of students to quickly reduce fractions and ratios, to make equivalent fractions, complete LCM and GCF problems, to divide numbers, and to do rapid mental math. This is one of the first things I teach at the end of the first week of school and we refer back to it throughout the entire year.

This Doodle Note Brochure is also part of the Unit 0 Bundle


I simply have my students pick up their page on their way into class. After bell work they can fold and begin coloring the front of their brochure. My only requirements are that students must listen, they must take all applicable notes, and they must stop coloring/doodling when I am finished teaching. They are welcome to finish coloring and decorating after their classwork is complete or at home/in their free time.
I typically give students a few extra problems to complete that they work out on the right side of their notebooks.

Project the template onto your board, screen using a projector or Elmo, or use powerpoint or your Smart Board software. I cut and paste into ActivInspire and write directly on my smartboard.
