Foldable

Rationale:
I would use this strategy because I want my students to have an easy way to study simplifying radical expressions. Many of my students are not organized in their note taking. I believe that my students can use this strategy in many other subjects.

Course:
Algebra –Radicals. This strategy is implemented with ninth and tenth grade Algebra students who need structure in their study habits.

Diverse learners:
This strategy would mostly benefit all the kinesthetic learner because of all the hands on activity. However, each learner should benefit from this strategy.

Procedure:
1. The teacher should model the strategy using another objective. 2. The student should follow the following step in making the foldable. a. Fold the paper in half. (like a hamburger) b. Fold the paper in fourth using the crease. c. Unfold the paper so it is back to the half crease. (like a hamburger) d. Fold the crease over about a half of an inch. e. Glue the half on an inch on the inside. f. Using scissors cut the top portion of the quarters up to the half of a inch crease. 3. Along the crease, write the label 4. On the outside of each quarter, give an example. 5. On the inside of each quarter, show the work and the solution.

Potential Issues:
A problem that might occur is that not all the students follow directions very well. Therefore, the teacher will have to model a lot for the students.
