Tactile Formulas: A Memory-Boosting Project for Learning any Math Formula (free download)

Students use hands-on materials to create a tactile formula and explain representations
Pin it
This project is a quick and easy add-on to any lesson or unit that includes formulas to remember.  

Students have to choose a tangible material that they will shape into each component of the formula.  But the key is that they have to select something that is meaningful and will help them remember what each number, letter, or symbol represents.  They will mentally connect the material to the concept and increase their retention.

Here are some examples.

Any creative connection that students can EXPLAIN clearly will work!  They come up with the greatest ideas when given freedom to make a mental connection of their own.

After taking a photo, the student must explain their choice of materials and how each selection helps them to remember what each part of the formula actually represents.

Anything that helps the formula stick in their brains in connection with the concept behind it is a win!

This project offers a unique approach to enhancing math learning by employing tactile materials to represent mathematical formulas. By encouraging students to choose materials that hold personal meaning, it fosters deeper connections between abstract concepts and tangible representations. This hands-on approach not only aids understanding but also strengthens memory retention, making it a valuable addition to any math curriculum. Additionally, students can order essays to further explore and articulate their understanding of these concepts, promoting critical thinking and written communication skills alongside mathematical proficiency.
