Making Math Notes Interactive

Interactive notebooks have become increasingly popular, and I have noticed them widely appearing on education websites. These are great resources to help students create notes that are engaging and help to highlight the major concepts for a particular topic. As you will see below, I found the following images of an interactive notebook on another blog: Interactive Notebook Entry: Graphing Using Slope-Intercept Form 

Personally, I am a big fan of this concept, and could see myself using these widely in my classrooms to incorporate principles of metacognition into the math classroom; it can be challenging for students to learn how to effectively take notes, and turn a blank notebook page into great study notes for the future. If you would like to learn more about math interactive notebooks, and see a few more examples of their implementation, visit the following website: Everybody is a Genius: Interactive Notebooks


Example: Interactive Notebook for Graphing Using Slope-Intercept Form




Slope Intercept Foldable (y=mx+b) and Brief Notes over Rearranging Equations

Notes over graphing using slope-intercept form.  This page is kinda blah. 


Reminders of which way to rise/run to get a positive or negative slope.  Some of my students found this really confusing.  Need to fix in the future!
