I choose not to use our math textbook--in fact, the fourth graders I had three years ago are the only ones that have even seen the book!! For my kids, the notebook IS their textbook, so I make sure that I always carefully plan out each page and activity. I want it to be GOOD if it is to be used as a reference tool.
I appreciate all of your feedback that you have given in regard to my notebooks! :D
You are so awesome girl!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - LOVE the idea of stapling a baggie into the journals to keep all the pieces (totally needed this when we did our place value foldable). Thanks for sharing so many wonderful ideas!

I love your pictures. I have started a notebook like this with my students. Please post more about yours. I need lots of ideas.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I love math notebooks. The textbook stinks. :)

You are my hero! You alwaysare enlightening me, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is quite possibly my favorite post ever! I LOVE seeing your notebooks. I don't do official notebooks, but I do a lot of activities, etc that are similar. If I get another job teaching Math next year, you better believe I will be doing them. I don't use my texts very much either. They are outdated and don't cover a lot of the state standards. We create our own textbooks too! I have students from last year who still reference their binders :) Thanks for sharing!!

oh my lord.. you are what I strive to do in my MATH JOURNALS... thanks so much for sharing.. pinning this page for future inspirations!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I want to start implanting this tomorrow! I teach second grade and love this idea! I really want to start this! Do you have any suggestions for implanting this to second graders and more than halfway through the year?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!

Janaye,
ReplyDeleteDo you have your kids keep their notebooks in their desk? I have been using my notebooks like you this year and I find they are getting really stuffed. It is making me wonder if I should switch to notebooks next year. I am also wondering how you manage putting in your grades? I have the students correct most our work, but I usually do our final assessments. I have 58 fourth graders and it takes me forever.

This is Fantastic! Thank you very much!
ReplyDeletethis is a GREAT resource! I just started math journals this year, and they have been amazing. but I love seeing the potential they have for next year.
ReplyDeleteIncredible Janaye!!! I've been using a binder for our math notes this year with a lot of graphic organizers I make for each unit. I've always been a big note-taker in math but mine don't even compare to your notebooks! I love the foldables...I really need to incorporate a visual like that in mine. I am so excited to read more about your notebooks--thanks so much for sharing your expertise!!

It is only through pinterest that I have come across the idea of maths notebooking, I was wondring if anyone had any ideas for some solid starting points -books I could read, explicit blogs, etc.
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to get kids to retain information and even though we record a lot in our maths books these lessons look wonderful and would really enhance their learning! Dying to get strated with them!
After reading your blog, the concept of math journals has finally "clicked" for me! I've always been too intimidated to try them. I LOVE the page-by-page pictures. Today I started making my example journal and just finished my first unit! Keep the pictures coming!
ReplyDeleteFor some of the pages in my students' math notebooks, I copy part of the textbook series' "Reteach" workbook page because it has good definitions and illustrations. The students can glue in part of that page and then enhance it to make it their own.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!!! Thank you for sharing all of your ideas and products. I'll let you know how my math journal goes this year. Have used them in the past but not very effectively.
ReplyDeleteThank you for everything you share! You are simply amazing!!!

Will definitely be using the measurement foldables with my fifth graders in the third quarter. In addition to examples to help us remember the size of each unit, I am going to include common conversion equivalencies the kids will need. Thanks for sharing. ~Stacy @ new-in-room-202.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteprintable ged practice test free online sources include state websites as well as platforms provided by well-meaning non-profit organizations . These offer preparatory courses as well as pre-tests and study guides. Most of the online resources are put together by academicians and experts in the exam components. The online modules that GED reviewers use are self-paced and interactive.
ReplyDeleteI am homeschooling my five children and am loving the idea of math notebooks for them! I will be creating a "master" for myself, and using individual concepts for each child as they reach that grade level. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love your ideas! Thank you for posting!
