Candidates will keep a math notebook that includes visual notes and problem-solving activities. This is not a reading log or a traditional notebook. For each major topic area, you will complete one double-page spread (two open and facing pages) that visually organizes and synthesizes the content you are learning in a way that is meaningful to you.
For your FIRST entry, you will complete an entry that highlights your life in numbers.
