8. New Ideas Make yourself a Vocabulary Section of your binder.
You may want to add a tab or you may want to use the “Other” Section.
Instead of adding the vocabulary word to your notes, keep a growing list of the vocabulary words in this new “Vocabulary Section”.
This way, when it comes time to study Vocabulary for tests/quizzes, you have all your words and definitions in one place.

9. For Example: Vocabulary Words *TEST 1 Vocabulary* 1/6/15
Word – Definition
Word - Definition

10. Vocabulary
Slope – the ratio of the RISE to the RUN; the ratio of the VERTICAL change to the HORIZONTAL change
Does this sound familiar???
