INTERACTIVE STUDENT NOTEBOOK Your Key to Success in Math

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD YOURSELF SAY...

GET IT TOGETHER WITH YOUR

WHAT IS AN INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK?  A personalized textbook  A working portfolio – all of your notes, class work, homework – in one convenient spot.

PURPOSE  Be a creative, independent and reflective thinker and mathematician throughout the year.  Express your own ideas and process and or apply the information and skills learned in this class.

Date Title RIGHT PAGE LEFT PAGE Student Responses Pg # Teacher Information

RIGHT SIDE The Right side belongs to Mrs. S 1. Should be complete. 2. Should clearly have both the title and the date of the assignment at the top. 3. The page should be numbered in the top right-hand corner. 4. All assignments should be in chronological order by the times they were assigned. 5. All right side assignments should be done only on right sides unless instructed by Mrs. S. 6. The right side of your spiral should be complete to earn a homework stamp. Any missing part (date, page number, Learning Target, incomplete note, etc.) will mean no stamp.

RIGHT SIDE The Right side has all “ testable ” information  Date  Title/Learning Target  Vocabulary  Class, reading, and discussion notes  Worksheets  In-class Assignments  Study Guides  Cornell Notes  Other relevant information  Graphic Organizers / Thinking Maps

LEFT SIDE The Left side belongs to YOU! Left Side is to record your thinking, reflections, questions, thoughts, impressions, connections, and wonderings. Here is where you will do your homework. Here you can process the information you learned in your own way. You get to be creative and show off your unique learning style.

LEFT SIDE EXAMPLES:  Apply skills learned in class/Homework  Use graphs, charts, Venn Diagrams, research or practice from the internet  Make connections between new and old learning  Questions  Thinking Maps  Brainstorming  Sketches related to learning  Mnemonic devices

QUESTIONS ASKED FOR THE LEFT SIDE:  What do I already know about this topic?  What questions does this raise for me?  How can I organize this information?  How can I picture this information?  How can I paraphrase and summarize this information?  What’s my hook for remembering this information?  What more do I need to know? (questions I need to ask my teacher)

MAINTAINING THE INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK  No ripped out pages or torn corners  No doodling that doesn ’ t relate to notes  Date, title and number each page  Everyone ’ s Math spiral should MATCH!

LATENESS AND LACK OF CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER 1. If you forget to bring your notebook to class or you didn’t complete your homework, you may show it to me by Friday only, for a stamp. 2. If you are absent, you have as many days as you were absent past Friday to show me your homework. It is your responsibility to get your missed homework, do it, and show it to me for credit. 3. Any right side assignment that is out of chronological order will not receive a homework stamp.

HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE TO WORK ON MY NOTEBOOK? Normally class time is given to work on right side assignments and sometimes this includes time to work on a left side. The expectation is that you will revisit/review the material the right side that evening by completing a left side activity. It should take you no more than 45 minutes to complete a left side.

Setting up the Your Math Spiral

INITIAL SET UP Your Spiral will be set up following the directions given by Mrs. S.

Math Syllabus First Right side page Your name Core 1

SCOOT ANSWERS! – PAGE 2  Get out your SCOOT answer from Wednesday.  Fill in any blanks!

GROUP ROLES – PAGE 3  Read through the responsibilities of each role when you have the sheet glued into your spiral.

UNIT TITLE PAGE – PAGE 5  Attach stickie labeled – Rates and Ratios  Use tape to cover both sides of the stickie – you are laminating it into your spiral.  Write the unit title on the top of the page

WARM UP – PAGE 7 Write the date in upper right corner: SEPTEMBER 14, 2015 Write the Essential Question on the top of page 7: How do you use precise language and notation of ratios? Answer the following on page 7:  Describe how to plot coordinate points on a coordinate grid. Use complete sentences.

EXAMPLE 1 The coed soccer team has four times as many boys as it has girls. We say that the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls is 4:1. We read this as “four to one.” Let’s create a table to show how many boys and how many girls could be on the team: # of Boys# of GirlsTotal # of Players 415

What are some other ratios that show four times as many boys as girls, or a ratio of boys to girls of 4 to 1? # of Boys# of GirlsTotal # of Players 415

Suppose the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls on the team is 3:2. 1. Copy and add to your table. 2. I can’t say there are 3 times as many boys as girls. What would my multiplicative value have to be? There are ___ as many boys as girls. 3. Can we make a bar model that shows there are 3/2 as many boys as girls? # of Boys# of GirlsTotal # of Players 325

EXAMPLE 2  Find the ratio of boys to girls in our class.  Raise your hand when you know.  How can we say this as a multiplicative comparison without using ratios?  Write the ratio of number of boys to the number of girls on the white board. When I say show me, turn your board toward me and hold it up so I can see it.  Compare your answer with those around you. Does everyone’s ratio look exactly the same?

WHEN YOU IDENTIFY WITH A STATEMENT, STAND UP TO BE COUNTED.  Everyone will write a ratio of the number of students who answered “yes” to the first statement I post to the number of students who answered “yes” to the second statement on a whiteboard to show me. 1. You traveled out of state this summer. 2. You did not travel out of state this summer. 3. You have at least one sibling. 4. You are an only child. 5. Your favorite class is math. 6. Your favorite class is not math.  Which ratio did you find most interesting? Why?

YOUR TURN  Look around the classroom to find quantities to compare.  Write your ratio statements that represent your ratio in both of the summary forms:  My own ratio compares _______________ to ______________. (example: My own ratio compares the number of students wearing jeans to the number of students not wearing jeans.)  My ratio is __:__. (example My ratio is 16:6.)

WORK WITH YOUR TABLE PARTNER  Use words to describe a context that could be represented by each ratio given. Be precise about the order in which the quantities are stated and about the quantities being compared. That is instead of saying boys to girls, say the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls. Write the answers in your quad book to : to to :2 6. 2:10

REVIEW  A ratio is an ordered pair of non-negative numbers, which are not both zero.  The ratio is denoted A:B or A to B to indicate the order of the numbers. In this specific case, the number A is first, and the number B is second.  The order of the numbers is important to the meaning of the ratio. Switching the numbers changes the relationship. The description of the ratio relationship tells us the correct order for the numbers in the ratio.
