Beginning ISN pages for 2016-2017

I started INB's the second year that I started teaching. My first year of teaching, I did note-packets, and I absolutely HATED it so I decided to find a new way to present material to students. I found several blogs to help start my INB journey and three blogs that I used a lot were Math Equals Love, Everybody is a Genius, and Mrs. Hesters Classroom. These three blogs helped me SOO much and without them, I definitely would not be as organized and as efficient in INB's as I am now.

I am going to try Plickers in all of my classes next year. Students do not need to download any app (only teachers) and teachers can view live results of students answers just by having students hold up their card. I made 6 copies of the cards (one set for each class period) and I am going to ask the librarians to laminate them for me so that students can tape them on the front cover of their INB. To the right is a Geometry formula chart that I created for students to write down the formulas in as we learn them. I am in the process of typing all of the formulas in the formula chart so that I can make a class poster for students to reference in case they missed any formulas.

The next page after our formula chart is "Geometry Symbols." I made it this past week because I want students to write down all Geometry symbols that we learn!

I use the same classroom information/expectations pages that Sarah Rubin (everybodyisagenius.blogspot.com) has on her blog. I may decide to change it up over the summer, but for now, I like it. :) I want to go over the class information/expectations with the students and then have students write down where to find the tutorial times, class website, remind 101, and absent work on the "Reference Sheet." 

As I am writing this post, I just realized that I forgot to add Socrative on the "Reference Sheet" so I am going to go back and edit it. *We use Socrative.com at least 2 times per unit and I want students to write down our room name. 

This is my first year having a "Work in Progress" folder but I am teaching a new class (Basic Geometry) and I am not sure how my time will plan out so I made this folder for students to put worksheets in that are incomplete or in "a work of progress."

I will also make a post in the very near future on my classroom procedures with INB's. 

Update: I uploaded the files.. However, I cannot find the geometry formula chart so I will re-make it again and upload in the future :)

• Geometry Symbols
• Work in Progress Folder
• Editable Reference Sheet (need KG All of Me & KG The Fighter)
