Math Notes boxes appear routinely throughout the text. The Math Notes consolidate core content ideas, provide definitions, explanations, examples, instructions about notation, formalizations of topics, and occasionally interesting extensions or applications of mathematical concepts. These boxes enable students to reference ideas that they missed or have forgotten.
The Math Notes text and images from the student edtion are included in the Toolkits, which allows students to interact with that text. You can opt to provide a framework from which students work with the Math Notes; some options include:
Write examples or non-examples of the concept.
Summarize the notes or hints about each topic in their words.
Highlight/color code key vocabulary words and their definitions.
Create a sample problem that demonstrates the concept.
Give a description of how this concept connects to other previous concepts.
Provide prompts for students to respond to some aspects of the Math Notes.
Have students do a KWL, in which they write about what they know (the K) and what they want to know, (the W) before reading the Math Note. Then, after reading the Math Note, they write about what they learned (the L).
Direct student to write question that they have about the topic covered in the Math Note.
