Interactive Math Notebooks (am)

We have started an interactive math notebook for the geometry unit. This book is "interactive" because it includes pieces that can be manipulated to show the math concepts. Each note begins with the learning goal. Students must then write out the learning goal in their own words and write what they know about the topic before we complete the lesson and activities. Once the lesson and teacher notes (right side of the page) are completed, students are asked to complete the "what I learned", "proof" and "reflection" sections of the left side of the page. Take a look at your child's math notebook for more details. See below for images of the first four pages of a few of the students' notebooks. I am so impressed with the effort and care that the students are putting into organizing their work.
