At the beginning of each unit there must be a title page (sometimes multiple pages) in your binder consisting of four parts.

1. The Title - For example, “UNIT 4” {blue}

2. Student Name - In one of the upper outside corners of the page write your name.  You name must include the first letter of your last name. 

3. Formulas, Definitions, and Key Concepts - The teacher will tell you these. {teal}

4. Sticker (Used as a page mark) - Place the teacher’s sticker on the bottom outside corner of the page (farthest from the spine). Fold it over the edge to the back for easy binder organization.

5. Number of Assignments Logged - Above the sticker, write the total number of homework, guided practice, redos, and projects for this unit. {red}

Your binders will be checked for the following criteria. 

• Title Page - As explained above.

• Assignments

  • Student Name - Be sure to include at least the first letter of your last name.

  • Assignment name - While you can list full assignment descriptions, only the assignment name will actually be checked, examples: p.403 or [B4034].

  • Assignment Due Date - Always list the official due date from RenWeb, not the assigned or turned-in date. Applies to redos too.   

  • Minimum number of assignments - Each unit has a required number of assignments (homework, guided practice, etc.). To get full credit, include at least this many in your binder. Checks focus on assignment inclusion, student name, assignment name, and due date—not problem content. Only papers bound in the 3-ring of the binder count.

• Organizational Items:

  • The 3-ring binder is math exclusive

  • Unit is organized and together

  • Headers of assignments are obvious and only one assignment per page.

  • There is no idle doodling or sketches unrelated to the math topic.
