Math Interactive Notebook For the entire school year, we will be using an Interactive Notebook. The interactive notebook is more than a notebook in which to take notes. It is a way of collecting and processing information. It will replace your math textbook. The Interactive Notebook uses a right side and left side to help you organize your learning. The right page includes traditional class assignments: notes, worksheets, etc. The left side is a place for you to process that information.
Implementation
Notebooks can be kept in your binder or stored in the classroom. Bring it to class every day. It will not be in your best interest to lose it.
Number the pages sequentially. Do not remove any pages. Both right and left pages should be numbered. It is important that all of us have the same information on the same page.
The first pages are reserved for a table of contents, and instructions. Other information will be included as appendices.
Use color to help organize your information.
Handouts, foldables and other papers should be glued or taped in place. No staples.
You will need other supplies: markers, glue stick, tape, ruler, pencils, colored pencils
Notebooks will be graded weekly using self, peer and teacher checklists.
