➡️ Click the link in my bio to check out my on demand course “MATH NOTES 101” 💜 Because guided notes aren’t scaffolded just because you added some blanks. 😭 The real question is: ❓What can I take OFF the student’s plate so they have more brain space for the actual math? ‼️Maybe they don’t need to copy the entire definition. ‼️Maybe the visual model should already be there. ‼️Maybe the steps need to be chunked. ‼️Maybe the example needs more white space. ‼️Maybe we need to intentionally decide what students write vs. what students THINK about. That’s the difference between guided notes that are basically a worksheet…and guided notes that actually make grade-level math more accessible without making it easier. And if you’re thinking… “Okay Stephanie, but HOW do I actually design notes like that?” 👀 That’s exactly what I teach inside Math Notes 101. I walk you through how I create scaffolded math guided notes in PowerPoint + give you 20 editable templates so you’re not staring at a blank slide trying to figure it all out yourself. 😂
