States of Matter Tammy Morehouse Increased focus Better retention of material Stronger learning ability for new content Relaxation, decreased stress levels Activates both sides of the brain simultaneously for cross-lateral learning Activate your student’s creativity by encouraging them to use markers, crayons, or colored pencils to doodle, copy notes, highlight important vocabulary, and add their own notes. Read more about maximizing communication between both hemispheres of your student’s brains on Math Giraffe’s blog. It contains interesting research information about the real benefits of including coloring and doodling in science and math.
