Interactive Notebook/Math Journal

Interactive Notebook/Math Journal
My Math Notebook
You are a mathematician and Mathematicians use notebooks to record data, make drawings, generate questions, and solve problems.
Your notebook is a mathematics book that will represent you and your experiences in mathematics this school year.  Your math notebook will be used frequently so be responsible and make sure it is in class every day.  If you do not have your notebook, take notes on a piece of paper and then transfer the notes into your notebook.
You will be given periodic notebook exams where you may have to answer questions like this:  On August 29th, what was the Lesson Essential Question? On August 30th, what was the answer to the second "Do Now" question? On September 1st, what was the answer to homework problem 31?
