NOTES: Students should be bringing home their math binders nightly. The reason for this is because the Problem Set that we do in class that day, matches the homework problems the students have that night. The Problem Sets are the students "class notes" and in essence their, "textbook".
DISCLAIMER: The binder, though bulky, doesn't weight nearly as much as a textbook does. There should be no reason that the math binder doesn't make it's way home. ;)
The Binder includes the tabs:
Tracker - Monitor your child's progress on daily homework assignments.
Problem Sets - Class notes (It's the "textbook")
Exit Tickets - These are how I monitor the student's knowledge gained in class that day.
Homework - Daily homework that matches up with the Problem Sets.
DISCLAIMER: All of the above material needs to be kept neat and in order as it is all checked at the end of the unit after the test for multiple grades
