Left Side – Right Side Orientation

LEFT SIDE

Left side items are the students…

REFLECTIONS

RIGHT SIDE

Right side items are things from the

teacher and text to be learned…

TESTABLE ITEMS

…input

Right Side• Right is for Cornell Notes!• The right side “belongs” to Mrs.

Washington and the text.• The right side has “testable”

information.• The right side has a toolbox with

vocabulary, formulas.• The right side has a summary for the

day.

Examples of Teacher Right Side Content

• Notes, usually in the Cornell note-taking format (formulas, vocabulary)

• Handouts• Graphic organizers• Example problems worked out

with written “running” commentary

• Content to go on a math foldable

Left Side• The left is for “Your Way” of

understanding the material.• The left side belongs to YOU!• The left side is where you record your PROCESSING of the teacher-provided notes, handouts, etc. (i.e. of the right side items).

Examples of Student Left Side Work/Products

• Songs, Poems, Raps• Graphic organizers• Foldables • Your re-writing of notes into your own

language and/or with illustrations• Math Graffiti/ Math Cartoons• Colorful and varied representations

Page 10: Math Interactive Student Notebook (MISN)

More Examples of Left Side Work/Products

• Math journal entries (e.g. about real-world math, about the assigned Internet math practice homework)

• Creative math memory hooks• Mental math models (e.g. a story

about “good guys leaving” and “bad guys leaving” to explain pos/neg integer multiplication)

Extra Credit Left Side Work/Products

1.math riddles (especially for geometry) 2.student-created math games requiring

math expertise (both to create and play the game; can involve dice, spinners, etc.)

3.poems/raps to aid memory of concepts or algorithms

Maintaining the Interactive Notebook

• Date and number each page (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, etc.).

• No doodling that doesn’t relate to notes

• No ripped out pages or torn corners

Components of your Interactive Notebook

• Cover – create colorful cover that has to do with math concepts

• Table of Contents – create running table that includes skills
