How to Use:
***This journal is open-ended. Math activities are NOT included on purpose. You will be provided with links to suggested websites that contain tons of great ideas. This allows you to tailor the learning to fit your students and what you believe will lead to greater success.***
1. Print a copy for each student . Select “Shrink Oversized Pages” when printing. If using the version for Google Slides, share with your students.
2. Visit the blog to see the activities I use with my class for each Math Community Expectation along with links to videos that can enhance your lessons.
3. If you are looking for activity ideas, check out the list of amazing websites included in the resource
4. Spend some time discussing growth mindset. Review the Math Mindset Journal Success Criteria and have students complete “Your Brain: Before & After” but just the left side.
5. For each lesson, show a video (ideas included in resource list) that fits with one of the Math Community Expectations. Present students with a task that highlights the importance of whichever Expectation you are focused on that day. Discuss the experience and tie it in with the Expectation. Students will then complete the corresponding reflection activity.
6. Students will consolidate their learning with the “Math Is…” reflection.
7. Assess the journal using the rubric provided.
