Unique Notetaking

For my middle school students I tend to use interactive notebooks. They enjoy the tactile experience of cutting , folding, and taping the information into their journals. The result is visually appealing and incredibly well organized with a table of contents for them to quickly find topics they may need to review.

For my high school students I tend to use guided notes. Especially in geometry, I do not want my students to waste time trying to draw a diagram and copy from the board when the more important piece is the understanding of the diagram. By providing them a skeleton I am continuing to teach them what their math notes could look like even without a guide.
