Student foldables are three-dimensional, hands-on, teaching tools that help students to organize information that they are required to learn. Student foldables can be used to teach any academic subject. Student foldables are effective because they allow students to take an active role in developing their own learning resources; students are physically and mentally engaged during the process of making foldables. Foldables are small enough to be carried in a backpack or a pocket, and appeal to learners for whom paper and pencil activities aren't effective. A panoramic-style student foldable is easy to make from a standard sheet of paper.
