Math Interactive Notebooks (6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Interactive Notebooks)

My 7th grade interactive notebook is set up to the Common Core State Standards (7.NS, 7.RP, 7.EE, 7.G, and 7.SP).  There is so much to this notebook.  You can have students use a standard size notebook, composition notebook, or a 3-ring binder.  I decided to try the 3-ring binder with my students and I got to say that it worked out a lot nicer than an actual notebook.  I had students write their name and period on a thin sheet of paper, and I placed this paper on the side of the binder.

This made it extremely easy for my students to leave their notebooks in my bookcase and find it quickly whenever needed.  However, it is up to you how you want students to construct the interactive notebook.

I have provided a cover page and intro pages (expectations, grading, cheat sheet, table of contents, and etc.).

I have also provided a page where students will set goals and a page where students will write if they accomplished those goals.  At my school, we discuss how important it is for students to learn how to set goals.  Hence, I like to use this page multiple times throughout the year.  The page is set up so that you can have students set goals each quarter.

I have also included a unit overview for each standard.  The unit overview is a great way for students to know what they are going to be learning for the next couple of weeks or month(s).  The overview includes the standards, essential questions, key vocabulary words, and a place for students to write in the date and score of their pre-test, post-test, and vocabulary quiz.  You can leave the date blank if you do not give a pre-test, post-test, or vocabulary quiz.

You will notice that I have included a "reflection" page.  I love to use this reflection page on the left side of the notebook.  I use the right side of the notebook as a direct instruction / activity.  I just make copies of the reflection page anytime that I want students to reflect upon what they learned.

This notebook is great because it has a lot of cut and paste activities.  Students will need scissors and glue to complete the activities.  You can decide if you want students to color the activities.  In addition, you will notice that I include the standard on the top of each page.  I also include a "I can..." statement.  Students will write in the "I can..." statements.  You will be provided with the answer key that includes all of the "I can..." statements.

Overall, you will LOVE my interactive notebook.  I also have a 6th grade, 8th grade, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra interactive notebook.
