An Entire Interactive Notebook

Everything I read and/or hear about interactive notebooks is people asking "how do I do this? " I cannot stress enough that making interactive notebooks has to work for YOU, how YOU decide to use them. For me, in my opinion, teachers just need to do it. Seriously, it seems cliche' but it's true. Do it and then USE them in your classroom. That's the most important thing. At the end of the year when students were writing to next years students about what they would need to know to survive sixth grade math, many of them said, "Keep your math binder organized and look at your notes first before asking for help.

" I want you to see what a "real" notebook looks like from beginning to end. This was my first day of school activity. Page 2 is guidelines and expectations. These are state reference materials.

These students now spend more hours in front of a video screen than they do reading books. No wonder students may find traditional mathematics education to be dull and boring. So, what can mathematics educators do to compete in this exciting and captivating world of technology? The answer seems to be simple: embrace technology in the classroom. What is meant by movie clips? Using Clips - things to remember: (1) Purchase the movie/video that you will be using rather than using a copy. . (2) Always preview a clip before showing it to your class. . (3) As with all educational materials, choose clips that are tastefully done and are age appropriate. . (4) Limit the clip to showing only the information that is relevant to the mathematical concept you are trying to develop.
