You are now officially my inspiration! I will begin teaching 7th/8th math class and your video has taught me more than what I have learned in the entire past year about teaching content.
Start in small amounts and you can totally bring your kiddos into this. I know for me it was a perfect way to stay organized teaching many classes and then just teaching study skills throughout the day as well. Wishing you the best.
Exactly stuff like this made middle school hard for me. Pre-made structures from some third person makes it hard to find its own structure. Learning is a process of getting through things on its own. It makes it even harder for your kids to commit later University. German opinion, from a german student. Greetings
Thank you for your opinions. Every student learns differently and if you looked at my notebooks compared to my students you would see that. They all take their own spin on the content as long as they have the information for them to use at a later date. I disagree on the "learning is a process of getting through tings on its own." You can't be expected to learn completely on your own if you aren't guided in some way.
Wow, your video is AMAZING. My son is home-schooled but my daughter is in 7th grade this year in public school. I think this would help her with her advanced math class just to keep things organized and FUN. I love keeping my son busy with his hands as it helps him cement the information into his brain. :) You are an inspiration and have given me a lot of ideas on how to help my kids enjoy learning math! Thank you!!!! I wish I had a tenth of the creativity and joy you bring to teaching!
Thanks for this! I'm a special education teacher who teaches 6th and 7th graders (both math and English) and I want to start using INBs next year. I really enjoyed seeing how you put yours together and hearing about how you use it with the students. I will look for your products on TpT.
In my class, preparing their notebook serves as their warm-up time. Classwork is all done in the notebook as a part of notes/examples together. If they do an activity, then that is separate and not part of their notebook. I do close every lesson with an Exit Ticket of sorts and it has proven to be beneficial. This year my students did remarkably well on the state test and many of my students with learning difficulties excelled because they were organized.
Hi, i'm a 6th grade math teacher (1st year!) in Texas and i can't believe it took me almost 9 months to find your channel!!! i do interactive notebook with my students but i wish i watched your video in the beginning of the year. it is so organized and i would love to try it from next year. i am subscribing your channel and a HUGE thank you from a newbie. ^^
Thanks for asking! The Solving Equations items are available in my store under the title "Combining Like Terms & One-Step Equations Anchor Charts & Flippables (foldable)" and I have also added a new item under the title "Equations Flippables, Practice & Task Cards Mini Unit" that covers the next steps in Equations. Hope this helps! :)
Planning for my INB is what takes down a lot in the daily time spent, as well as preparing as much as I can ahead of time. I try to stay a week or two (roughly 1 unit) ahead of my students so I know what is in store. I tailored my standards to work with INBs and firmly believe it can (and will) work for everyone!
This will be my first time using interactive notebooks. I feel much more comfortable starting this after watching your videos and downloading some of your resources. Thank you!
my teacher is amazing she is a 6th grade teacher and i think she is very clever to choose this way to orginize a journal by the way i am allegra dyson and i might go to marana middle next year can't wait!
How awesome this is, i am so sure that the kids will learn so much more this way! The math that the teach over here is really bad, when we lived in spain the math was better but over here even the parents don't get it. This looks so clear and fun, this will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Hugs.
Do your students build these notebooks by themselves, or do you create them before the school year starts for each child? I'm a student teacher and these look very interesting to do! I would love to do these with my future classes. Do the students do the cutting and pasting during class time or do you insert the new info for the next day at the end of every day?
Your notebook is awesome! Do you do warm-ups in your classroom? If so, where do you put them? Where do you put the classwork and homework that they complete? Have your students performed well on the STAAR test with the usage of the notebooks?
Hello! LOVE the video, I hope to implement an interactive notebook in my classroom soon. I was wondering what you have the students use to put the handouts/foldables into the notebook? Do you use glue/tape/etc. (: Thanks!
Where is the LOVE button for this? This is such an amazing notebook. I found this on Pinterest because I was looking for ways to organize my students for next year so that they had more reference materials for review at end of the year testing. Does this take a huge amount of time? I'm teach an accelerated curriculum and worry that we will fall behind trying to keep up with the notebook.
Do you have a blog post or video talking about your Post-It Prove-It activities? I know you said you were working on a pack for your TPT store. I was just wanting to see how you use them in your class.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I actually just wrote a post on a collaborative blog called All Things Upper Elementary where I shared my way of fitting everything in during a 48 minute class. Maybe I will do a video on it as well.
really like this idea of interactive notebooks. however i feel that this can only work consistently with primary school kids as teachers spend the whole day with them and students can catch up with work. but in high school we only get to spend 50-60 minutes with students, so we have to use our lesson time wisely. so cutting, gluing and decorating in class looses very valuable class time. majority of students wont bother with this even if i set it for homework.
I do this with my middle school students (7th and 8th). I understand your concern and it was mine also. We rarely cut in class or decorate in class. I assigned the cutting and decorating for homework. Students cut the unit at home, save the pieces in their folder and we paste as part of the lesson. It works try it.
Sorry for not seeing this sooner, we typically use a one subject notebook for fall and one for spring. I’ve also used a three subject notebook and used the third section for homework and vocabulary.
I really love this. While my kids’ teachers are amazing, we have struggled a bit w distance Ed so I’m looking for ways to supplement their learning. I understand than the INB is great for learning and notes but what do u do for homework after? Do u use a certain text book and use INB to teach and for notes and then assign homework in the text or do you completely make your own worksheets? Thanks! I’m a counselor not a teacher and I really respect what you and all teachers do. I’m just trying to do the best we can at home. I consider myself the “mama co-teacher”! Lol
OMG! These are AWESOME!! Do you have a materials list for each student/notebook? I'd like to take advantage of the Back to School Sales ASAP! Thanks for this amazing idea!
If you google search "4mulaFun post it prove it" then my Sept. 25th, 2012 blog post comes up. I would link it for you but RUclips doesn't allow links in comments. I am working on a pack to put up in my store more about what they are, how to implement and sample questions for strands in math for grades 4-8.
Danie Marie- They kind of all just come to me based on knowing how much I notes I need to provide for my students. I've linked my TpT store in the description.
Where can I get your templates? I here you talking about a store. I would love to get everything. I teach 7th grade math online. I think I can pull this off. Please direct me to your resources.
Hey! First off, LOVE your math journals. I was just wondering how you use class time to get the class to make them. Do they cut all the things out and glue during class time? Do they copy your page exactly or how do you display/talk about the info to get the students to copy down the info the way it should be?
I love your ideas, I am using them this year. I have a question? Your grading rubric only shows for the first three weeks, do you not take grades after that?
Aftin Lovely The specific ones you see were for my notebook only and I purchased them at Walmart. They stick right on. For my students I made some from cardstock and they folded them over the page and glued it in place.
Maybe you don't, but lots of smart people do care. And looking at you're reaction you need to go back to school and get some education on how to behave. There are lots of kids that love to go to school and that is because the have some amazing teachers, who make the difference, and Jen is one of them.

@haddel I'm Dutch and I agree with you
Pre-made? I have done about ten notebooks like this. We have to do the work ourselves

Well, it's not only Inter-Active notebook but Inter-Attractive notebook ! Great video....Very useful.
My school district uses interactive notebooks, but nobody would provide examples! Thank you so much for making the video and all of the ideas!

I came across your video this week and today I purchased the rational numbers unit for 7th grade
my teacher is amazing she is a 6th grade teacher and i think she is very clever to choose this way to orginize a journal by the way i am allegra dyson and i might go to marana middle next year can't wait!
I'm in 6 grade and in our Go Math books we are doing Integers and Absolute value and stuff
Are you enjoying it?

We create these throughout the school year in class. My students are each responsible for their own notebook.
Thanks for leaving the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
This is freaking awsome!Wish i would have this when I was in middle school
Your notebook is awesome! Do you do warm-ups in your classroom? If so, where do you put them? Where do you put the classwork and homework that they complete? Have your students performed well on the STAAR test with the usage of the notebooks?

awesome work! please from the video i discovered that everything has been done by teacher are the pupils not meant to write out anything?
How big is your notebook? I'm will teach middle school math next year and I will use notebooks next year.
Sorry for not seeing this sooner, we typically use a one subject notebook for fall and one for spring. I’ve also used a three subject notebook and used the third section for homework and vocabulary.
@@smithcurriculumconsulting That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to next year.

can you make a video on how to decorate math notebooks for grade 9?
I have a few days of my first day going to middle school and I am trying to see how hard or easy the math is

She is amazing and I like that she Is organized
Kayla,
Aww, thank you so much.

Thank god ur here my class I forgot my math on summer gotta hit the bookz
What other store or blog did you get the Solving Equations items. I can't seem to find it.
Where can I get your templates? I here you talking about a store. I would love to get everything. I teach 7th grade math online. I think I can pull this off. Please direct me to your resources.

typo. I'm not perfect.
No prob. I'm not trying to be a dick :)

good videos
good
good overview of a notebook, but your rubric is just a checklist of points. A rubric is for evaluating quality, not for counting up points.
Nice tfs bye for now Eileen
😧
guddd
Also I want to become a astronomer I have a telescope that see Saturn and Jupiter I have videos of the moon it's in RUclips
Wwwooww
This is 7th grade math…😢
