Interactive Math Notebook

What is it? Your notebook is a 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. It teaches you how to keep yourself organized!

Think of your INB as a semester project (it will be collected once a semester and given a mark out of 100). Once the lesson has finished, you should glue in your notes so you don’t lose them! It is your responsibility to keep your INB up-to-date throughout the semester and collect any work you’ve missed.
