The Library

University of Sussex Library is a "cosy" place where students can go to read, study or chat. There are hundreds of books and resources that will make teachers' lives much more easier.

Let's try a foldable to keep information organized. It is easy and can be used in any subject: Maths, English, Natural Science...

First, you will need three different pieces of paper for each student. Copy paper works best, but construction paper will also do the job.

Next, line up the papers so that they overlap, with a small “tab” left for each color.

Then fold the paper over so that you get six tabs in all, and staple the top to make it into a book.  Hopefully you get the idea!

Now it is time to label the cover and the tabs. This foldable is being used for representing the number 100, so the front cover is labelled “Representing 100” and each tab is labeled with a different way that the number will be represented. Representations in words, base 10 blocks, money, equations and pictures are included in this specific foldable. Story problems are also a good one to add.

Now students can write/draw on each page. For example, on the equation page students should write as many equations as they can that equal 100.

This foldable is great for consolidating learning at the end of a unit, and also as a form of summative assessment. They look great in student portfolios and also can make a nice bulletin board display.
