Feedback“This gives students a schematic, which is how thebrain works. This is an efficient study tool that providesstudents with an organized way to think about thecontent.” ProfessorPreservice Teachers:“It helps me learn the material.”“Can’t wait to use foldables in my future classroom!”“This will be a helpful study tool for the ExCet Exam.”“Making foldables helped me see how this materialcould be presented in an elementary classroom.”AMATYC 2012

What we’ve learned Ensure student information is writtencorrectly Should be more than note-taking Should include visual and summativeinfo Feedback is helpful (ensure studentsare making correct connections) Allows testing higher order thinkingAMATYC 2012

More feedback “I loved it! It allows the students to do ahands on activity, and they can alsovisualize and create the fractions with theirfoldable.” “It helps unorganized people be organizedwith their notes.” For those of us who learn visually andhands-on, this method targets that. Wehear it, translate it into our own words,then draw it.”AMATYC 2012
“They allow for organization of thematerial. They group relevant informationtogether and for me, make the informationeasier to grasp.”AMATYC 2012
