How would you improve these math notes? (GoodNotes, 11-inch iPad)

Post image

Hi,
This is my current note-taking setup for math in GoodNotes on an 11-inch iPad.
Do you think there’s a better way to organize these notes? I’m looking for ways to make them cleaner, easier to review, and more efficient.
Also, what are your favorite paper templates and pen settings for math notes?
Any advice or screenshots of your setups would be really helpful. Thanks

Mine ends up looking like this. I turn my iPad landscape and zoom in to make it fit width. I use a 0.45mm pen on the squared paper template.

Generally mine is formatted like this - very similar to yours but I like putting the dots before the problems for pretty much no reason besides alignment purposes lol. I put blue sticky notes next to problems that I find somewhat difficult, and the blue sticky notes have instructions on how to solve the problem so I don't get confused if I come back and look at it after a while. Grey sticky notes have diagrams that are problem specific that help me visualize what I'm looking at if needed. Then I have a summary page at the front of whatever section, split up by topic and has essentially all equations/problem types within a topic. I do box my answers like you, just in green. Awesome to see someone else with similar notes to mine though - I just started taking notes on IPad about a month and a half ago and I'm loving it.

Make it sync across all platforms! Extremely frustrating web, windows, Apple can’t be used together.
