Introduction to Mnemonics:
Explain to students what a mnemonic device is and how it can help them remember important information.
Discuss why mnemonic devices are particularly useful for remembering formulas in math.
Presenting the Mnemonic:
Introduce the mnemonic for the area and circumference of a circle: “Cherry pie is delicious! Apple pies are too!”
Break down the mnemonic:
“Cherry pie is delicious” corresponds to the circumference formula:
�
=
2
�
�
C=2πr (where C is the circumference,
�
π is pi, and r is the radius).
“Apple pies are too” corresponds to the area formula:
�
=
�
�
2
A=πr
2
(where A is the area,
�
π is pi, and r is the radius).
Creating Interactive Notebook Inserts:
Provide students with printable inserts of the mnemonic device.
Have students glue or tape the insert into their interactive notebooks.
Encourage students to decorate and color the insert to make it more memorable and visually appealing.
Practice Using the Mnemonic:
Distribute circle worksheets with various problems requiring students to find the area and circumference of circles.
Guide students to use the mnemonic device to recall and apply the correct formulas.
Work through a few examples as a class, emphasizing the connection between the mnemonic and the formulas.
Independent Practice:
Assign additional practice problems for students to complete independently or in pairs.
Encourage students to refer to their interactive notebook insert whenever they need to recall the formulas.
Discussion and Reflection:
Facilitate a class discussion about the effectiveness of the mnemonic device.
Ask students to share their experiences and whether the mnemonic helped them remember the formulas.
Discuss other potential mnemonic devices for different mathematical concepts.
Extension Activity:
Have students create their own mnemonic devices for other mathematical formulas or concepts they find challenging.
Share and discuss these student-created mnemonics in class.
