✨ 3rd–12th Grade Math Teachers
Design guided math notes that support every learner
…without doubling your prep time ✏️✨
Are guided notes actually helpful?
GREAT QUESTION!
Guided notes help you...
- ✅ Support every learner — Scaffolded notes help students follow along, process information, and stay engaged without watering down rigor.
- 🧠 Reduce confusion before practice begins — When notes are designed intentionally, students know what to do and why they’re doing it.
- ⏱️ Save time on reteaching — Clear note structure means fewer “Wait, what?” moments and more meaningful practice time.
- 📊 Strengthen Tier 1 instruction — Guided notes support IEPs, ELLs, and students who need structure inside your core lessons.
What if…
you could design effective guided notes in under 20 minutes?
✔️ Maybe you’ve tried guided notes before, but they felt too busy, boring, or confusing.
✔️ Maybe PowerPoint feels overwhelming and way too time-consuming.
✔️ Maybe you’re tired of rewriting notes at the board and reteaching the same examples.
✔️ Or maybe you want a repeatable system you can use for every unit, all year long, without starting from scratch.
HERE’S WHERE IT GETS GOOD ✨
Imagine walking into class knowing your notes are already doing part of the teaching.
✅ Students are writing, following along, and asking better questions
✅ You’re not stopping every two minutes to re-explain directions or put out fires
✅ Practice time feels productive because students are actually engaged.
It’s 100% possible
INTRODUCING…
Math Notes 101
Your step-by-step system for designing clear, scaffolded math notes that support all learners, without watering down rigor or starting from scratch.
This isn’t about adding more to your plate.
It’s about building a repeatable structure you can use for every unit, all year long.
Who is this for?
✅ Math teachers (grades 3–12) who want lessons that make sense to students the first time
✅ New teachers who want clear structure instead of trial-and-error planning
✅ Veteran teachers who are done reteaching the same concept five different ways
✅ Teachers serving students with IEPs, ELLs, and unfinished learning, without lowering rigor
✅ Anyone who wants a system they can reuse all year, not a one-week fix
This isn’t for you if…
🚫 You plan to teach straight from the district slides and hope for the best
🚫 You believe clarity = “making math easier”
🚫 You’re not open to adjusting materials so more students can access the math
✨ This course works whether you’re in year 1 or year 15, as long as you want better structure, not more chaos.

Hi, I’m Stephanie 👋
I’m a former NYC math teacher turned curriculum designer.
For 11 years, I taught Algebra, co-taught special education, and sat in IEP meetings asking the same question over and over:
Why doesn’t scripted curriculum actually help students learn?
I didn’t want my students to just get through math.
I wanted them to understand it.
So I spent years rewriting notes at the board, restructuring lessons, and reteaching the same examples — all in an effort to give students the clarity they were missing.
Math Notes 101 is the system that came out of that work.
Why I Created Math Notes 101:
This course is my blueprint for helping teachers take back instructional autonomy, without burning themselves out.
✔️ Clear structure for students
✔️ Intentional scaffolds built into Tier 1 instruction
✔️ Notes that support diverse learners without extra prep
You don’t need permission to teach the way your students need.
You just need the right tools.
Math Notes 101 helps you create guided notes that actually work, for you and for your students.
Learn the research behind scaffolding and explore different types of guided notes and when to use them.
Plan for gaps, access, and pacing so no student gets left behind.
Learn essential PowerPoint tools, spacing, fonts, and shortcuts that save time.
Create visual structure using math symbols, tables, and models.
Design clean, readable graphs directly in PowerPoint.
Create polished, readable equations and formulas with confidence.
Integrate guided notes into daily lessons and reuse them year after year without reinventing them every unit.
