1. Interactive Math Notebook

2. What is it? Your notebook is a tool for your success in Math.
It allows you to keep track of lessons, worksheets, homework, and classwork for each day in an organized way.
It teaches you how to keep yourself organized!

3. Think of your INB as a semester project (it will be collected once a semester and given a mark out of 100).
Once the lesson has finished, you should glue in your notes so you don’t lose them!
It is your responsibility to keep your INB up-to-date throughout the semester and collect any work you’ve missed.

8. Lessons & Homework
Each day’s lesson should take up pages in your INB. You may fold the handouts in half, if you like. Don’t worry about right vs. left orientation!
Homework is written on the following page! Don’t forget textbook numbers too. 66 67

9. Output This could be many things, such as:
! Concept maps
! Diagrams ! Story ! Comics ! Math journal tasks
! Venn diagrams ! Create a word problem
Sometimes a specific output task will be assigned to you.
Sometimes you will choose your own.
This is where you can be creative and use even more colour! 66 67
