No worries … Turn those frowns upside down … Interactive Math Notebooks are here to save the day!

What Is An Interactive Math Notebook? ü An interactive math notebook (IMN) is your own personalized Math BOOK. ü A portfolio of your work in ONE spot that you bring EVERY DAY. This is a great resource for STUDYING for quizzes & tests. ü A great ORGANIZATIONAL tool that gives you permission to be COLORFUL and CREATIVE to show me what you know or have learned. ü Allows you to be like a Mathematician by asking QUESTIONS, RECORDING what you observe, and SHARING it with your classmates!

Creative ideas welcome • Is there a learning resource that fits our needs? • Do we want to continue with the current texts and adopt supplemental materials to fill areas where the texts are lacking? • Should we invest in more heavily in tech devices, subscribe to electronic resources, and only purchase enough texts to provide those students who do not have internet connectivity at home? Please brainstorm with your team the best approach to take. Coweta Committed to Student Success
