A Peek At My Algebra I Interactive Notebook
So, this morn I sent out this tweet:
(Oh, as well as yesteryear the way, I guess I should say the blogging basis what I am teaching side yesteryear side year. I volition bring iii sections of Algebra 2, 2 sections of Algebra 1 (1 High School, 1 eighth Grade), as well as 1 department of Math Analysis which is what my schoolhouse calls College Algebra.) It's a practiced affair I beloved algebra since I volition last teaching algebra all twenty-four hours every day!)
I was a niggling surprised, however, when people started replying to my tweet as well as wanted to run across what I had done. Maybe my Definition of "planned out" as well as their Definition of "planned out" is a niggling different. You see, I had an one-time composition notebook lying around. It's seriously pretty miserable looking. About 30-40 pages bring been ripped out. Some of the other pages bring random math problems solved on them.
On each page, I drew out what I wanted students to bring inward their notebooks. And, allow me say you, I am no artist. My sis is an fine art didactics major. Not me. There is a definite argue I studied math inward college as well as non art. So, instead of having cool foldables inward my notebook, I bring horrible drawings of things that are supposed to expect similar foldables.
Now that I bring everything drawn out that I desire to include inward the notebook (well, entirely for the offset chapter), I experience similar I tin start planning out to a greater extent than details. So, I took my crude oil draft of the offset Algebra 1 lesson as well as tried to plow it into something to a greater extent than visually pleasing to part amongst the world. In the procedure of making this offset duo of pages, I realized that I truly desire to create the foldable a niggling differently. But, this is a practiced thing. This is why I am making sample pages similar this inward the offset place.
So, without farther ado, I introduce to you lot my *still* crude oil draft of my offset INB entry inward Algebra 1.
And, I know this is thus less than perfect. But, it's also thus much to a greater extent than than I had before. The give-and-take "algebraic expression" isn't centered on the Frayer Model at the top. Totally bugs me. And, I had a colored pencil accident on the in conclusion example. It totally looks similar an equal sign. And, I'm definitely using a ruler side yesteryear side fourth dimension I depict a table.
The catch of Turn Around Words ("Less Than") was totally borrowed from Julie Reulbach as well as her wonderful I Speak Math blog.
I started drawing the symbols. But, as well as then I also wanted to present my students the dissimilar ways to correspond multiplication as well as division. So, I'm non certain how my in conclusion version volition look... Ideas, anyone? And, I desire my students to create something amongst the blank infinite at the bottom of the LHS. Hmm...
Oh, as well as if anyone is interested, I posted the template I created for this type of foldable at the bottom of this post!
And credit for folding the Frayer Model inward one-half to gum into the INB, goes to Katie @ Middle School Math Madness. I beloved her blog!
With each English linguistic communication phrase, I circled / boxed / marked each telephone commutation give-and-take amongst the color of the performance it corresponded to. So, when I brand my in conclusion draft, all my improver words volition last i color. All my subtraction words volition last approximately other color, etc. Then, I also wrote the performance inward that same color on the Math side of the table.
My version of the foldable above. I mean value it's called a 4-door shutter fold. But, I'm besides lazy to google it correct now. I originally did i amongst a total sized slice of paper, but I catch it was a niggling big for my composition notebook. So, I downsized it as well as used the extra infinite to impress approximately other Frayer Model. I'm seriously obsessed. I also made a version without the Frayer Model.

Planned out all my INB pages for the offset chap. of Alg1 as well as Alg2 yesterday. Still involve to tackle my classroom administration excogitation as well as syllabi.I was pretty proud of myself for existence super productive yesterday. I had finally got over my perfectionism as well as started planning actual lessons. Believe me. I would bring loved to bring started this sooner, but I only constitute out what classes I am teaching this week. School starts inward less than 2 weeks.

Changes
Oh, as well as hither is what I desire to change. When I was making my foldable, I got out my colored pencils, as well as I wanted to usage them to brand my foldable pretty as well as colorful. But, later I finished, my remove heed kept going dorsum to a tweet I had read almost a calendar week ago. @mgolding who blogs here (and is the i who originally inspired me to endeavour interactive notebooks!) tweeted the following:CWP. Color With a Purpose. Did my pretty colors truly serve a usage on the foldable other than to larn inward pretty? No. So, how tin I usage colors to help my students grasp the lesson better? Next, I made the English/Math tabular array on the RHS. Next, I started thinking almost what if I gave each of the iv operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide) their ain color. Since I couldn't undo my rainbow of colors on the exterior of my sample foldable, I used the colors of the operations on the within of the foldable.@jreulbach Color With a Purpose strikes me equally difficult to create right. I like"underline unit of measurement vocab amongst yellow" equally i CWP.
