Instructions
Prepare the materials. Fold the paper in half along the short axis. Split or cut the paper along the folds to create smaller sheets. Arrange the space. Place the index cards in a neat stack for easy access.
Flip through the mathematics text book. Locate terms and concepts that stimulate the writing project. Depending upon the grade level, these terms and concepts might range from mathematical properties, such as associative and distributive, geometric shapes, such as right triangles and pentagons or even calculus concepts, such as integration or Laplacian transforms. Mark pages with index cards or pieces of paper. Between 10 and 20 concepts or terms is a good start.
Design the cards to best illustrate the concepts or terms. Imaginative artistic renderings can serve as mnemonic triggering devices. Use colors and creativity to make the terms meaningful at a glance. For example, drawing a box and placing the word "area" inside can represent the space inside a shape. Alternatively, drawing a box and writing the word "perimeter" several times around the outer edge reveals the term's meaning. Drawing writing the word "integral" several times beneath a curve shows that integrals calculate the area beneath a curve.
Secure the index cards to the bulletin board with two pushpins. Place pushpins through each card's topmost corners. Secure any papers to the bulletin board with four pushpins. Place pushpins in each of the page's corners.
