Math Notebooks

Are you in Course 2? If so, you should have a 3 ring binder set up and ready to go.

Your math notebook has 4 sections. Section 1 includes your math Bill of Rights and will include your assessment tracker. These should be hole punched. 

Section 2 is for notes. Each day you will have one or more pages of notes. These will be clearly labeled with the lesson number centered on the top of the page. Each page of notes will include vocabulary, step by step instructions, and examples. These are placed in the second section of your notebook and remain in there for the entire year. These notes will be used during assessments and to review when doing homework. 

Section 3 of your notebook is for homework. Each homework assignment will be completed on grid paper and stapled to the Power Up. These will be turned in, checked off, and then returned to you. When they are returned they are placed in your notebook. This provides you with examples to refer back to and proof that it was completed. These will be emptied periodically. 

The last section is for assessments. Each test will be graded, handed back, signed by a parent, errors corrected, and then placed in section 4. These remain in your notebook all year!
