The Basics

I start every unit in my INB with this awesome Table of Contents template courtesy of Sarah Carter and her Math=Love blog. (found here) This woman is the reason I am starting an interactive notebook and has made the process so easy! Her things are a few grade levels above my 7th graders, but everything is so adaptable to any grade. I've also used her Interactive Notebook Planning Page for every unit, it really keeps you organized aware of what lessons will need multiple pages.


Each lesson in my INB is aligned with a "I Can" Statement and IXL Lessons that correspond with the concept being taught. My county pushes us to use IXL and I have come to love it. I assign IXL lessons as homework instead of sending home a worksheet that will more than likely not make it back. All of the IXL lessons are from the 7th grade Math list.
