The Mathematician’s Notebook: Chronicling a Student’s Journey

Need a fresh approach to integrating a notebook into your classroom? See how the Mathematician’s Notebook (MNB) can change the way you teach mathematics as well as how your students learn and experience mathematics. The notebook becomes a dynamic place where language, data, and problem-solving experiences operate jointly to form meaning for the mathematics student. The MNB helps students create an organized space for demonstrating their learning process. The notebook serves as a formative instructional tool as well as a portfolio of the students’ learning experiences, which provides rich documentation for their mathematical thinking development. The MNB is a tangible representation of the mathematical process standards and mathematical practices. The MNB serves as a platform for turning conjecture into modeling and STEM curriculum integrations. TLJConsultingGroup.com/MNB
