Have you ever heard yourself say . . .

Keep it all together with your

What is an Interactive Notebook?

• A personalized, clear textbook• A working portfolio -- all of your

notes, classwork, homework, etc. -- in one convenient spot

Left Side – Right Side Orientation

LEFT SIDE

Left side items are items from the teacher and

text to be . . . LEARNABLE CONTENT• Notes, taken in the format directed

by Ms. Pope• Handouts• Graphic organizers• Example problems worked out with

written “running” commentary• Content to go on a math foldable

• Work period input• Word Wall terms

RIGHT SIDE

Right side items are the student’s . . .

REFLECTIONS

• Guided practice• Graphic organizers• Foldables • Homework assignment• Creative math memory hooks• Acronyms to aid in memory• Math journal entries• Poems, raps, riddles, and math games• Work Period output

Left Side• Left is for learnable content!• The left side “belongs” to Ms. Pope

and the text.• The left side has “testable”

information.

Examples of Teacher Left Side Content

• Notes, taken in the format directed by Ms. Pope

• Handouts• Graphic organizers• Example problems worked out with

written “running” commentary• Content to go on a math foldable

Right Side• The right is for “reflection.”• The right side belongs to YOU!• The right side is where you record your

PROCESSING of the teacher-provided notes, handouts, etc. (i.e. of the left side items).

Examples of Student Right Side

Work/Products• Guided practice• Graphic organizers• Foldables • Homework assignment• Your re-writing of notes into your own

language and/or with illustrations

More Examples of Right Side Work/Products

• Math journal entries (e.g. about real-world math, about the assigned Internet math practice homework)

• Creative math memory hooks• Mental math models (e.g. a story about

“good guys leaving” and “bad guys leaving” to explain pos/neg integer multiplication)

Extra Credit Right Side Work/Products

NOTE: These are graded by detailed rubrics.

1.math riddles (especially for geometry) 2.student-created math games requiring

math expertise (both to create and play the game; can involve dice, spinners, etc.)

3.poems/raps to aid memory of concepts or algorithms

4.etc.
