3. Keep it all together with your Interactive Notebook!

4. What is an Interactive Notebook? • A personalized, clear textbook • A working portfolio -- all of your notes, classwork, etc. -- in one convenient spot

5. Left Side – Right Side Orientation LEFT SIDE RIGHT SIDE Right side items are the student’s . . . REFLECTIONS Left side items are items from the teacher and text to be . . . LEARNED

6. Left Side • Left is for learnablecontent! • The left side “belongs” to Mrs. Sanders and the text. • The left side has “testable” information.

7. Examples of Teacher Left Side Content • Notes, usually in the Cornell note-taking format • Handouts • Graphic organizers • Example problems worked out with written “running” commentary • Content to go on a math foldable

8. Right Side • The right is for “reflection.” • The right side belongs to YOU! • The right side is where you record your PROCESSINGofthe teacher-provided notes, handouts, etc. (i.e. of the left side items).

9. Examples of Student Right Side Work/Products • Guided practice • Graphic organizers • Foldables • Your re-writing of notes into your own language and/or with illustrations

10. More Examples of Right Side Work/Products • Math journal entries (e.g. about real-world math, about the assigned Internet math practice homework) • Creative math memory hooks • Mental math models (e.g. a story about “good guys leaving” and “bad guys leaving” to explain pos/neg integer multiplication)

11. Extra Credit Right Side Work/Products NOTE: These are graded by detailed rubrics. • math riddles (especially for geometry) • student-created math games requiring math expertise (both to create and play the game; can involve dice, spinners, etc.) • poems/raps to aid memory of concepts or algorithms • etc.

17. Student Supplies • Math textbook • One-inch binder(math-class-only) • M.I.S.N. =a plastic or laminatedbradded folder with pockets, filled with120 pages of loose leaf paper • Your own “whiteboard” (i.e. a sheet of white cardstock in a heavy duty sheet protector) • pencil bag of supplies (see next slide)
