I like the idea of each unit having its own table of contents, rather than a long list at the beginning of the notebook...especially if it's combined with tabs for the start of each unit. Do you have a file of your table of contents page that you would be willing to share?

I did something similar to lead into properties of real numbers. <br />I did "speed dating" and at each spot they had to answer 8 questions (2 minutes was more than enough time, even without a calculator.) <br />Here's the setup.<br />|my#|+|their#|=|Answer| then |their#|+|my#|=|Answer|<br /><br />we did this for all four operations. Each student did 70+ questions, depending on how many students were in the class. I gave out "hello my name is" name tags from -12 to 12. The students loved it and it is a great way for them to see patterns.

I teach Algebra I and have been somewhat traditional in my teaching. I really want to try to do Interactive Notebooks with my students this year. Do you complete an INB of your own before you present it to the students? I'm somewhat nervous, but want to give it a try. I also could not get the files. Could you email them to jedmonds@hopewell.k12.va.us ??? I really appreciate you sharing your material and teaching strategies. Pray for me. :)Jackie Edmondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707177295388948523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-39316557739092558252015-11-24T17:09:53.721-06:002015-11-24T17:09:53.721-06:00I either print my worksheets half size or have the...I either print my worksheets half size or have the student fold the worksheet and glue it at the marginAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11616631152581058384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-23338300740920716032015-10-04T20:23:49.222-05:002015-10-04T20:23:49.222-05:00We did a sample problem underneath.

I've been snatching up ideas left and right, so thank you for sharing! We just finished our first week of school, and on the last day of the week we began setting up our INBs. I assume that your students have their notebooks on the first day of school, but since I was hired 4 weeks before school starting I wasn't able to add this to our school supply list. Do you have any suggestions on how to incorporate material we've already covered into the notebooks without taking too much time away from lessons?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03794346994679877175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-75937646453240691072015-08-11T13:34:01.612-05:002015-08-11T13:34:01.612-05:00Hi

They HATE writing regular notes, and never seem to reference them anyway, so I think this will help. I have a quick question. I love your BEDMAS/PEDMAS organizer as shown in your picture above, but the one I downloaded has a foldable part at the top, but I'm not sure how you'd use that - could you post a picture or explain what you put in each section? Just a description in words of each step of BEDMAS?

Also, the left side was what I have then and the right side was how they interpreted the info I gave them. Granted, one can do the notebook anyway they wish and I was shown this at an elementary school. My real question is, do you allow you students to take them home? And if not, what do they use to study.

Of course, I do not have my students do their homework in the notebooks. If they did, we would use many more pages. We don't have textbooks, so all of my homework assignments are worksheets. I'm rethinking this for next year, though. <br /><br />Spiral notebooks work great if you get a new notebook at the semester. If kids try to use a single spiral for the whole year, the covers will rip off, and it's not pretty. All of my students who chose to use a spiral this year regretted it by around February. My kids with the composition notebooks have had no trouble at all.

The fi...Hi Carri, that's an awesome question. The first page of my INB is dedicated to my students' names. I make them put their name on the first page. And, I ask them to make sure it has the name of their class and class period somewhere on the page as well. Then, I have students decorate the page in a way that tells me something about them. This is one of our first assignments of the year. <br /><br />Page 2, this year, was reserved for a concept map over Unit 1. At the end of Unit 1, I asked students to synthesize everything we learned in Unit 1 into a single concept map. Page 3, this year, was a table of contents page for Unit 1. <br /><br />I had grand plans this summer to have students do lots of cool pages that would go at the front of their interactive notebooks before the table of contents. But, I ran out of time, and I decided it was best to just jump right into Unit 1. <br /><br />Last year, I had students glue in their syllabus at the front of the notebook. I have seen other teachers include things like learning style surveys, personality tests, formula sheets, partner grouping scenarios like clock partners, and so much more. The possibilities are endless. Hope this helps! <br /><br />And, thank you so much for reading my blog! I think your middle school students are going to love the interactive notebooks. I don't use textbooks with my students, so I introduce the interactive notebooks at the beginning of the year as a textbook that we are going to create over the course of the school year. We walk through setting it up together as a class.
