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

1. The Title - For example, “UNIT 16” {blue}

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

3. 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 notebook organization.

4. Summary of Unit - Above the sticker, write the total number of homework, guided practice, redos, and projects for this unit. {red}

Your notebook will be checked for the following criteria. 

• Title Page - As explained above.

• Assignments

  • 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 notebook. Checks focus on assignment inclusion, name, and due date—not problem content. Only physically attached papers count. Redos can replace missing assignments to help meet the minimum. 

• Organizational Items:

  • Student name is written predominately on the front cover

  • The notebook is math exclusive

  • Unit is organized and together

  • Headers of assignments are obvious 

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