And I've found there's a psychological component too, if that makes sense; working in it makes me feel more mathematical somehow. <br />The notebooks we order for our students to use for their math work have always been lined marble composition books. Graph paper is made available, but not widely used. I'm thinking now about experimenting with having kids do their work in graph ruled notebooks.Joe Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304083254248927187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907702537884089718.post-36273747096785039412016-08-18T11:23:31.496-07:002016-08-18T11:23:31.496-07:00When I taught eighth graders, I gave every student...When I taught eighth graders, I gave every student a spiral-bound notebook with paper ruled in 1/4-inch squares. I think it was a terrific enhancement and worth the personal expense. I remember having them first number each page in the bottom outside corner. This discouraged them from tearing out pages and gave me full access to their thinking. I hope your graph ruled notebook gives you many mathematical meanderings.
