Yellow Sheets
No, they're not yellow (unless you printed them on that color paper.) The name refers to this project's history, from Lead Developer Jason C. McDonald's college days.
"Back when I was taking Pre-Calculus, I had a five subject notebook I used for my class notes. I would write especially important facts on the yellow divider pages, so I could find them easily later. Since then, I have frequently referenced those 'yellow sheets' while tutoring at our local community college, often copying them down for the student for keep.""
These Yellow Sheets are modeled after the charts Jason successfully used in tutoring. Thus, the name refers to the theory of content: these charts and graphs contain only that information which you would write on a notebook divider page in your class notes.
Using Yellow Sheets
These are intended to be learning tools. They are no substitution for one-on-one explanations, lectures, reading the textbook, or doing the work. Educators using Yellow Sheets should consider working the example problem with the student, explaining all the concepts contained therein.
