Data and Graphing Interactive Notebook for 5th Grade

This interactive notebook covers many data and graphing skills. Multiple versions of most activities allow for differentiation. Students can practice the same skill but at their independent level.

More about this resource

Interactive notebooks combine traditional notes with interactive hands-on activities that require students to think deeply about math concepts. Students love the manipulative nature of these activities and teachers love that they make assessment easy. Interactive notebooks are great for visual and kinesthetic learners and are a great tool for differentiated instruction.

According to one study, more than half of all kids reported that math is their least favorite subject. But my interactive notebooks show students that math can be fascinating and fun. Instead of passively copying down notes, interactive notebooks require students to interact with and think about the material which leads to deeper conceptual understanding.

The best part is that students LOVE making them and don’t even realize they are learning! They practice important math skills by inserting and moving around flaps, foldables, wheels, charts, etc. They love all of the different parts and multiple modalities.

These notebooks are easy to use and don’t waste valuable class time. The cuts are super-simple. There’s no unnecessary coloring. Students can quickly cut, glue, and go!

How to Use in the Classroom:

You can use these interactive notebooks in a variety of ways. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

Copy notebooks on different colored paper. This keeps kids interested and makes organization simple.
Guided math groups: Use during meet the teacher time to review and reteach concepts in small groups. Help your student complete activities on their level.
Math centers: Place in a center for use during math workshop. Students can complete interactive notebooks independently during a math center while you work with a small group. This is a great option if you don’t have access to technology.
Whole group: Select an activity and model how to solve the problems. Project an activity on the whiteboard and work through examples together. Or let students complete independently and share with a partner before you discuss as a class. Use as a whole group activity to reinforce new skills
Assessment: Easily assess student mastery of skills by reviewing their interactive notebooks
Review: Each notebook also provides a great reference for review. Your kids will love looking back at the notebooks they created when it comes time for testing.

Differentiation:

Interactive notebooks make differentiation easy, if a student needs extra support you can allow them to use their notebook as a resource during independent work or even during assessments,
Provide additional support to students by completing interactive notebooks in a teacher-directed small group.
There are multiple versions of most activities, so you can select the appropriate number of pages for each student to complete.
