Algebra I Interactive Notebook Entries Over Functions, Relations, Together With Slope

Here are my latest interactive notebook entries over functions, relations, as well as gradient from my Algebra 1 classes. If you lot haven't noticed, I honey the Frayer Model for vocabulary. It has popular off 1 of my go-to entries for the interactive notebook. I started out the twelvemonth amongst miniature Frayer Models. Not anymore. I similar to stimulate got upwards the entire page. My favorite component is the event as well as non-example boxes. The to a greater extent than Frayer Models nosotros complete, the to a greater extent than my students desire to practise their ain examples as well as non-examples. Their reckon processes are piece of cake changing. They are starting to procedure the cloth as well as arrive their ain earlier I prompt them to.

For example, of late nosotros completed a Frayer Model over the y-intercept. In the event box, I instructed my students to depict a linear graph as well as grade the y-intercept using a colored pencil. Before I could hand them instructions for the non-example box, I had students giving suggestions left as well as right. Some wanted to grade the x-intercept. Others wanted to grade a betoken that was non fifty-fifty on the line. Still roughly other said nosotros could grade whatsoever betoken that was non the y-intercept. At the commencement of the year, my students didn't fifty-fifty know what a non-example was. Now, they are creating their own. I am accomplishing something. My students are accomplishing something. It's as well as thence piece of cake for me to focus on all the areas inward which I ask to meliorate that I lose sight of the fact that I am making a difference.

Anyway, hither are a few photos. I've added a few novel pages since taking these photographs. That's only testimony to how busy life every bit a first-year instructor is.

I had my students practise an in-class mag entry as well as a learning log.
