Description
These fifth-grade math sketch notes (AKA doodle pages) are a powerful learning and teaching tool for classifying quadrilaterals. They cover essential math concepts and procedures for students in a visually appealing way. You can use this resource to supplement any math curriculum, and it is perfect for previewing/pre-teaching or reviewing/reinforcing.
These sketch pages are like mini anchor charts that your students actively create and can be referred to in the future.
While these were specifically created for 5th grade, there are no grade-level indicators on the student materials, so you can use these with older students.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
- Blank student note page (two sizes: 8.5 × 11 & composition notebook size for INBs)
- Detailed answer key
- Step-by-step PowerPoint
GUIDED NOTE-TAKING
Guiding your students through the note-taking process is so easy and requires almost zero preparation!
- PowerPoint: Each sketch note page comes with a step-by-step PowerPoint that you can use to guide your students as they complete their notes.
- Document Camera: Use a document camera to project a blank copy of the notes. Use the answer key provided to complete the note page in front of your students.
WHY SKETCH?
Sketch notes present your students with a meaningful and engaging activity they will love. Doodle note-taking activates verbal and visual modalities to capture concepts. The whole brain is absorbed in hearing, synthesizing, and retaining ideas. This high level of engagement helps students retain the content and leaves little room for distraction.

A must for your Math Notebooks!
I teach 5th grade and this was a great way to go through the specific classifications of quadrilaterals. Kids can make it as pretty and colorful as they want, great for teaching or assessing. I only print the composition size even if they have a larger notebook to ensure that they will fit.
Great resource!
I loved this resource, it was aligned with what I was teaching and it fit perfectly with my lessons. I used this for a supplemental resource.
My students loved this resource and were engaged the entire time!
Good resource! The math notes are helpful for my fifth-grade students, but I wish there were more detailed explanations and examples included. It’s a great tool for reinforcing concepts, and my students benefit from it. With a bit more depth, it would be even more effective for classroom use.
<p>Cynthia, thank you so much for the feedback. This resource is a supplemental tool is not intended to take the place of your main curriculum. Hopefully your students find these notes to be a helpful review on a topic you've already taught in depth.</p>

I purchased your bundle and love using these notes pages with my students. Our state and common core math using an inclusive definition of trapezoids. An inclusive trapezoid is defined as having at least one pair of parallel sides. Is there a way I can get an editable PowerPoint to change your definition to match the inclusive definition?
Hello! Thanks so much for reaching out.
At this time, I’m not able to provide an editable version of this resource, as it was created in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign.
Incorporating the inclusive trapezoid definition would significantly change the visual structure and flow of the notes. It would require creating an entirely new version rather than making a simple edit. I’m open to doing this if there’s sufficient demand and I’m able to prioritize the time (it would also require updating the 4th grade set for alignment).
For now, I can add this to my list of potential updates, but I can’t guarantee a timeline.
