Using the IM curriculum, we encourage students to engage in productive struggle. Our students are challenged with solving math inquiry at the start of each lesson. Notes pages are provided and housed in manila folders. This becomes a bit cumbersome, given the notes can become lost or in the case of middle schoolers, just disappear. By using the organized binder system, our students will learn an academic organizational systems that works. The 3-ring binders, pencil pouches, and pencils that I have requested will help my students easily access and reference previous tasks/activity notes to refresh prior knowledge, support new learning, and to help make sense in mathematics. An organized binder houses a list of topics and page numbers that allow students easy access to the previous lessons notes to support skill building and developing the concept. For example, in Algebra 1, our students are now learning systems of equations (I'm sure we all remember this topic.) Some students require referencing prior activities in solving equations and substitution, so having these binder resources will help my students easily find the information they need.
