Pi Takes The Cake- Where Math and Science Adds Up to Sweet Success

 I have created foldable graphic organizers for the upcoming lessons for this week. I have uploaded them to the Teachers Pay Teachers website for FREE. Description: This is a three tab foldable graphic organizer that I have recently created for my classes. It reviews the following: 1) Mid-point, 2) Distance, 3) Direct Variation, 4) Slope-Intercept, 5) Point Slope, and 6) Arithmetic Sequence. I have left the graphic organizers blank so that teachers can write their own examples. Twitter: @pitakesthecake

 My copy of the INB is some what different than the students' INBs. I post student quotes, teaching ideas and ideas for the next year. (The Unit Title Page and the Real Number System was downloaded from Math = Love blog .) 

 I have opened my TPT store! Yeah!  I have added three freebies.  Check them out! Interactive Notebooks Self Assessment No Assignment Form Interactive Notebook Rubric (Adapted from the Scientist's Notebook)

 I have changed schools and grade level this year. I am always amazed at the differences in school culture. I can't believe how each school focuses on different items.  Last year, I was teaching Algebra I in a block schedule. What an adjustment! Two years ago, I had came from a school with tradition scheduling and had taught 7th and 8th grade math in a small school district in Missouri. I had just heard of the concept of interactive notebooks but hadn't been brave enough to even try it. Last year, I paid for the Algebra I Employment Training Standards. This training is required for Tennessee  teachers with middle school endorsement to receive an employment exception letter for the Tennessee Department of Education. At that training, a presenter had conducted a section of the workshop on how to implement what she called Mathematician's Notebook. I knew I had my chance to to try using INBs with my students during the spring semester. New semester. New students. ...
