Tuesday Tried It- Editing a Foldable

Today's Tried it Tuesday for me is using a template to create a foldable. 

I do a lot of foldables. Most of mine are student made though. I make them fold the paper, I make them write everything out. No particular reason, I have just always done it that way. Also, let me note that I see nothing wrong with this way. 

This year has a been a little different. The more great finds I gather from TpT, the "nicer" our foldables have become. I have made some, and some I have bought. 

An example of one I have made on my own. 

During one of the amazing sales on TpT, I bought a huge foldable packet from 4mula Fun. She's a master at foldables and templates and all things Interactive Notebooks. 

This weekend I was considering the foldable I want my class to make for integer operations. I found one we have done lots, I wrote it out, it was fine. Then I remembered these templates I purchased and looked through them. 

When I bought them, it came with a PDF version AND a Publisher version so I could create foldables to meet my needs. 

So, I did! I created an 8 flip foldable for integers this week. 

I still want my kids to write out the rules and examples though. But, I made some of it fill in the blank. As far as the rules, I typed them all in because I want to make sure they don't get confused. I start saying "positive times a positives and negative times a negative equals a positive" and they are liable to have all kinds of things for the rules. 

I copied them on fun bright paper because its just cool. 

We are making these Thursday or Friday... we'll see how it goes over! 

Now that I look at this, we won't write the "x" for multiplication. Now that we are using variables, we will use the "dot" and parenthesis only. You just can't see those symbols.
