When the kids go back to handle their notes, you want them to be able to find stuff easily.<br><br>Let's see how the math works out: I usually used a pair of left and right pages every day. The composition book has 100 of these. Lop off 10 for administrivia, and you've got a page a day for a typical semester. One notebook. If you use 2 pages per day, that'll come to 2 notebooks per semester. Not too shabby. <br><br>If you go for double sided tape in notes, invest in the rubber bands so the kids can hold their notebooks closed. :)Megan Hayes-Goldinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11235614310269066451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374836660007193650.post-34832686090388360872012-07-28T13:48:33.761-04:002012-07-28T13:48:33.761-04:00More thoughts as I've been playing with differ...More thoughts as I've been playing with different ways to tape inside the book. If its just one page double sided notes I would keep the, that way just scaled down to fit inside the book like we talked about on twitter. Have them fill it out and when they tape it in just have them tape along the left edge, that way it flips kind of like a page in a book, then you still have that whole right side to write more on.<br><br>Did that make sense?mathtastrophehttp://mathtastrophe.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374836660007193650.post-57809626029951831342012-07-28T10:41:05.334-04:002012-07-28T10:41:05.334-04:00@mathtastrophe - I'm worried about the bulkine...@mathtastrophe - I'm worried about the bulkiness of having too many folded papers in the composition nb. My notes almost every day are double sided, so that's a lot of folding. Obviously something I still need to decide on! :)<br><br>@theoldgumtree - Thanks for commenting! If you haven't seen mathtastrophe's post on INBs, check it out (https://mathtastrophe.wordpress.com/2012/07/26/inb/) - she's got some good ideas :) Also, I find that it really helps me to type through my thoughts instead of letting them just rumble around my head.

I am also planning on implementing Interactive Notebooks for math next year and have been pondering these same things, so I love this post for two reasons. 1. Ideas! 2. More motivation to start writing things out instead of keeping it in my head. (At the moment my blog is blank, but at least it exists!)<br><br>Thanks!theoldgumtreehttp://theoldgumtree.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374836660007193650.post-364904708665836912012-07-28T06:58:57.175-04:002012-07-28T06:58:57.175-04:00Great post!

I did a lot of fill in notes last year too, I think for now I'm just going to have them on the right side and have then last page fully taped in the the top page only taped on the left side so it flips like a book. Another solution I've seen is that you print your notes out like normal, front the back and then at the end of class then fold it in half and tape just tape the top of the paper so it can fold out to see the front and flip over to see the back.<br><br>Something I plan on doing for days where there are no guided notes are having precut notebook paper that can fit in the book to work as an extender.<br><br>I blogged about all my cosmetic features if you want to check it out!mathtastrophehttp://mathtastrophe.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
