Ms. Zinner's Notebook Guidelines
All students are asked to keep a 3-ring binder for storing course
materials. Materials for other courses may be kept in another
part of the same large notebook. The math notebook should have
tabbed dividers to separate it into the following four sections:
1.
2.
3.
4.
General Info
Warm-Ups
Classwork/Class Notes
Homework
The contents of each section are described below.
General Info - class policies, homework formatting and notebook
guidelines, extra notebook and graph paper, etc.
Warm-Ups - daily problems posted on the whiteboard
Each day, during the first five minutes of class, put the
date of the warm-up in the outside margin (the margin
without holes in it), and then write the original problem
and answer it. Box or highlight all answers. Leave 1 or 2
blank lines between warm-ups.
Classwork/Class Notes - classwork and class notes in date order
(starting w/September)
Homework - assignment records, homework assignments
Page order:
Assignment Record (Chapter 1)
homework #1
homework #2
.
.
homework #n
Assignment Record (Chapter 2)
homework #1
homework #2
.

homework #n
etc.
At the beginning of February, all warm-ups and homework from the
first semester may be taken out of the notebook and stored safely
at home. These should be saved for future reference and as study
aids for the final exam. Class notes stay in the notebook
throughout the entire school year.
