Interactive Student Notebooks (ISN) allow students a way to organize their notes and examples for math class. Students build a personalized resource over a year-long class. Students take pride in their work and are able to build their own interpretation of the material (with some guidelines.) My school is in a high poverty, urban area and many students can't buy their own school supplies. I provide all my students with the same composition books, and the supplies to complete their notebooks in class. Students are able to use their ISNs to complete homework, classwork, and on quizzes and tests (as necessary.) They like having neat and orderly (and colorful) notes. Student feedback: “using color coding helps to find things very easily” “keeps all my things in one place” “helps when I need to remember how to set up and do a problem” “good visual, comes in handy” “great to reference later on for a math course in college” “I like being able to have notes that are organized and to be able to color it” “I like how I can go back to what I learned earlier in the year” “If I don’t remember a formula or something I can go back and review the page” “it was nice to keep my notes all in one place” “I had all my notes!” The benefits for me as as a teacher are that I can encourage my students to use their own notes for support rather than asking me for help, so they become more independent!
