INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK:

Strategy used to prevent notebooks from being used as a place to write occasional notes, stuff
handouts, and perhaps refer to before a test when all other options failed. Interactive notebooks
promote organization, engage students, and encourage students to process information, combine
words and visuals, become a working portfolio, express creativity, and demonstrate critical thinking.
Materials
8.5 / 11 spiral notebook (one that an 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper can fit into without any
trimming)

content/processes of other courses

The Process
Leave several pages at the beginning of the notebook for the table of contents.

Number the pages --- odd numbers on the right and even numbers on the left. Students
should never continue a right-side page onto the back but should rather staple, tape, or
glue on an extra sheet to extend a page.
Keep a master Table of Contents with dates and points possible. It is imperative that all
students are on the same page for the same work. This can be referred to as an
Assignment Log
If a student is absent, s/he must get the right-side input from the teacher or another student.
The left side of the notebook is used solely for the purpose of the students individual
interaction with the information on the right page. This interaction should not be directed
by the teacher in any way other than a list of recommended options for the various methods
from which a student may want to choose. While first introducing the concept of an
interactive notebook, teachers may choose to limit student choices to three or four options.

These interactions can be done using the Engage Explore Summarize lesson strategy.

As students become more comfortable with this type of processing, it may be a useful tool
to help each of them examine and reflect on their metacognitive skills in relation to
processing information. This reflection may even become a part of their final reflection for
portfolio assessment.

PORTFOLIO
A portfolio may be used as a tool for students to revisit, reflect upon, and revise their work in a
variety of ways, furthermore, the portfolio will provide for a management system for samples of
student work which the teacher may be asked to produce throughout the school year by the
Department of Curriculum and Instruction. The student portfolio is an important tool that is used to
organize student work in this course. The portfolio will provide direction as you REVISIT student
work and REFLECT upon what your students have learned throughout the year. The curriculum
guide will offer suggestions for inclusion in the portfolio that illustrate a wide range of work.
PURPOSE:
To give students a specific place to feature their work and a means to share it with others.
To provide evidence of students mathematical growth over the course of the year.
To allow students to review the mathematical content and processes they experience in the
instructional unit and to reflect on the new concepts learned.
SELECTION AND ORGANIZATION OF PORTFOLIO ENTRIES:
The Student Portfolio may be maintained in a two-pocket folder, file folder, or three-ring binder and
may contain:
An initial Student Reflection Sheet or student autobiography with goals for the year.
A cover sheet for each instructional unit that includes general student reflections and
identifies Embedded Assessment Questions in the unit.
Completed instructional units, arranged in order that the units were completed.
TAKS Talk documentation forms.
Assessments scored by the teacher using a rubric to indicate growth.
Reflections on the instructional units regarding students experience with specific
mathematical content or processes.
Periodic diagnostic assessments including benchmark exams, semester finals, etc.
A year-end reflection on students mathematical growth during the course, both in
mathematical content and processes.
Projects and assessments made by the teacher.
