How to Assemble

If you have access to a large laminator:

•Print all 4 pages for each student

•OR just make a few and leave them in a bin for students to grab as needed!

•Use a folder, filing folder, or folded piece of construction paper.

•Trim the white off the edges of each paper to make them fit better on the folder.

•Glue each page to the front, insides, and back of the folder.

•Laminate the folder so students can use it all year!

If you have access to a small laminator:

•Print all 4 pages for each student or just a few for your class.

•Laminate each page.

•Staple each page to the front, insides, and back of the folder.

OR

•Put each page in a clear sheet and put in the front of student’s math folders! You will need 3-prong folders for this option.
