1. Interactive Notebooks
for Ms. Freeman's Class

2. What is an Interactive Notebook (iBook)?
is like a personalized textbook that you create
helps you keep your notes organized and easy to use
is a portfolio to showcase what you've learned in math class

3. What's the Point?
to help you learn and remember important math concepts
allow you to show what you've learned using the RIGHT side of the notebook
to react, reflect, organize, and interpret what's on the LEFT side of the notebook

4. How Does an iBook Work?
Your iBook is set up with a left-side/right side orientation.
The left side is for input, or information that is given to you by Ms. Freeman
The right side is for output, this is where you process what you have learned.

5. What Do I Need to Get Started?
To make your iBook, you'll need the following materials:
composition book   
colored pencils
scissors 
highlighter
tape

6. How Will I Be Graded? You are responsible for:
making sure your iBook has all items (even when you are absent)
assignments
class work
notes
etc.
keeping Table of Contents up to date   
keeping notebook neat and organized
You can take the iBook home, but it MUST be brought to class EVERY DAY

7. EVERY
DAY!!!!

8. Never rip pages out of your iBook!

9. What Happens If I Am Absent?
See a trusted friend to copy notes
Check Ms. Freeman’s copy of the iBook to see what yours should look like

10. What If I Lose My Interactive Notebook?
