Using foldables as graphic organizers are a great way to get all involved. This week we worked with a Venn diagram foldable. Look for terrific foldable ideas at this website!

I have not heard about foldables much in the secondary community. Is there much available for older students? I can see using these with my freshmen classes...particularly for vocabulary and grammar.
Connie Jesch did a FANTASTIC workshop last summer on foldables. I encouraged Jodi to invite 6th grade teachers and I believe your collaborative teacher, Debbie, went to it also. I enjoyed it. We have a workbook full of ideas if you ever want to peruse. To answer your question, yes I think they would work at the high school level as well!
Graphic Organizers of all kinds are moving more and more into the secondary level. I use several pre-made vocabulary organizers in my geometry class. I also like to use the Frayer templates with all my courses, they can be applied to any content area at any level.
Teresa, what a wonderful resource for a math teacher! I hope all our math friends see this one...it's loaded!
I first heard about Foldables when I attended a National Science Teachers Association Conference a few years ago. Dinah Zikes was there presenting on them.
I view Dinah as the "guru" of foldables. If you visit: www.amazon.com and do a search for folables, you will find a variety of foldable resources.
How do I make a live link in this comment?
I took this workshop from a friend who went to Texas to the Dinah institute. She has a very good experience there!
I put live link below.

As a math coach, I see so many uses for foldables. Math teachers of the past tended to teach vocabulary by having students write the definitions in their notes and that's the end. I think foldables are a great asset to any math class!
I had noticed a 10th grade geometry teacher use the foldables very similar to the formula foldable in the wiki. I just didn't realize that there was a connection with a pre-established type of organizer. It is always nice to find a connection.
