Interactive Notebook Resources Section

My students gear upward their interactive notebooks on the 3rd twenty-four hr menstruum of school. That was inwards August. It's November, in addition to I'm finally blogging most it.

Here are my iii interactive notebooks for the year. Algebra 1, Algebra 2, in addition to Statistics.

Want to know what I'm most excited about? Our individual unit of measurement tables of contents brand tabs. Instant organization. :D

I decided to cause got the students create a resources tab at the forepart of their notebook to lucifer oft referenced stuff. It starts out alongside a unit of measurement mastery sheet. My Algebra 1 course of didactics has 8 units. As students complete each unit, they create total inwards the box. When they are all filled in, they cause got demonstrated mastery of Algebra 1.

The other side of the tab has the tabular array of contents for the resources section. I pre-typed the names of the resources. Students simply had to create total inwards the page numbers.

Up adjacent was the hall pass I gave my students. Students are allowed iv hall passes per quarter. This has drastically cutting downward on the set out of times students are hollo for to travel out my classroom this year. I'm definitely considering this 1 a win!

Then, I had my students mucilage inwards ii concept maps. They consummate 1 at the starting fourth dimension of the twelvemonth in addition to 1 at the halt of the year.

On the inside, they wrote the hollo of the dependent champaign inwards the center. Then, they made a concept map/mind map/bubble map/whatever y'all desire to telephone telephone it map to summarize what they idea Algebra 1/Algebra 2/or Statistics consisted of.

After filling these out, nosotros used stickers to seal them near until May. In May, we'll create some other concept map in addition to thus opened upward August's map to compare what they idea the course of didactics would hold upward most to what it was truly about.

Next, I had my students brand a steal to lucifer their syllabus. I had students read through their syllabus alongside a highlighter inwards manus to highlight the fundamental information.

Next to the syllabus, students wrote out their destination for the twelvemonth in addition to how they planned to hit that goal. I intend I would brand a quick graphic organizer for this inwards the future.

Since they cause got to analyze all of their errors earlier retaking quizzes, I gave them a canvas summarizing different types of errors. And, they made a steal to lucifer sample fault analysis sheets.

I didn't cause got my sample canvas inwards this steal when I took my picture. Sorry! Basically, I took the firstly quiz of the twelvemonth in addition to made upward simulated answers. Students had to degree it in addition to create total out an fault canvas for the simulated quiz.

After this, pupil glued inwards a summary of the grading in addition to retake policy. I'm non certain if whatsoever students truly e'er looked at this. I'd in all likelihood travel out this out adjacent year.

Calculator tutorials came next. Algebra 2 in addition to Statistics glued inwards a TI-84. Algebra 1 glued inwards a TI-30. Then, they made a steal to lucifer tutorials that volition hold upward given out throughout the year.

I don't cause got work solving strategy posters on my wall this year, but I did give students a list of strategies to mucilage inwards their notebooks. They had to pattern a tiny icon to stand upward for each strategy. It was fun to run across how creative my students got.

The finally affair nosotros glued inwards our resources department is in all likelihood the most used item. I telephone telephone it our mathematician's toolbox.

So far, my Algebra 1 students cause got referenced the foursquare rootage nautical chart piece rationalizing the denominator. My Algebra 2 students cause got referenced the prime number set out nautical chart piece working alongside radicals. My Algebra 2 students cause got also used the multiplication nautical chart piece working on factoring quadratics.

The adjacent day, nosotros glued inwards our Unit 1 Table of Contents in addition to jumped into the firstly unit of measurement of the year.
