Taking Math Class Notes

What are you currently using? How can we build on


that?
Some ideas to help with organization
● Changing the type of paper you use
○ How might your formating change if you changed paper?
○ What do you see when you look at the organization of your paper?
● Using two or more different colors as you take notes
○ Would this be useful to you?
○ Do you think you would use it? If so, in what way would you utilize it?
Paper Types
● Dotted

● Lined

● Blank

● Graphing
Try using two(or more) different
color pens/pencils
● As a way to help keep your note
organized, assign a color for
definitions and another for
examples.
Two page/column system
● This is a way to organize the way you take notes to try to separate either
examples and definitions or during and after lecture.
● Page/column one
○ This is a space to write down definitions or equations to keep it in an easy to find location.
○ Or to take all of the notes for the lecture in your organizing pattern
● Page/column two
○ This space can be used to write down all of the examples of the equations you did in class.
○ Or It can be used to rewrite your notes and develop questions and your own definitions.
Two Page System(First Page)
● Page one
○ Start by putting the date and
section/chapter up at the top.
○ Use this page to write
definitions, proofs,
equations, and other
important information
○ Personalise this page to best
help you. What works best
for the flow of the class and
your thought process?
Two Page System(Second Page)
● Page Two
○ This page is mainly for examples, but
there could be explanations as well.
○ Find a way of organizing this so that you
can easily find all the information.
