The use of interactive notebooks is crucial to your students success in 7th grade math! Students will not be issued a textbook but rather we will create our own throughout the school year. This notebook will contain handwritten notes, classroom examples, foldables, and interactive review of the content covered. Our notes we take in class will require taping, cutting, and coloring. Lessons and activities are designed to engage your student in the learning process to create a solid foundation of the math skills they will need for the rest of their school years and life. In this class, math is learned by doing not watching.
To foster well-kept notebooks, the notebook will be kept in the classroom with the students having the ability to check out their notebooks. Students may check out their interactive notebook for homework, to review for test or quizzes but must check it out first. Therefore, it is in your students best interest to take notes that are detailed, organized, and easily referenced.
