Math Notebook Management

 Quadrille notebooks (notebooks containing graph paper) or three-ring binders with graph paper are helpful with many activities within the program. These can be purchased in the MMS school store for $2.00.

 These notebooks contain all student work completed in the Math in Context program.

 A student glossary is located in a separate journal.

 At the end of every section, the notebooks are collected to check for completeness and accuracy.
