Notebook

What is it? Your notebook is the 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

Daily Pages • Your Notebook will be updated daily. • On each page, you will copy down the starter, title, page number, and date.

• A page number should be written on each and every page.

Page Numbers

This could be many things, such as: ! Concept maps ! Diagrams ! Story ! Songs, poems, riddles ! Data charts and graphs ! Comics ! Math journal tasks ! Venn diagrams ! Math word problem creation
