• Assessment - use this to benchmark your students comprehension and supplement if necessary

Here’s what other teachers are saying about this resource:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crystal H. says “This is by far the best math resource bundle that I have ever purchased. It includes engaging warm-ups, detailed guided notes, independent practice, exit tickets, and even lesson quizzes- and everything is aligned to my NC Standards! Being a perfectionist, I truly used to spend at least 8 hours every week trying to piecemeal my math lessons because none of my available resources included all of the elements I wanted in each lesson. This resource, however, has it all and is saving me hundreds of hours of prep work! After using it for a month now, my students are mastering skills better than ever before. My only regret is not purchasing it at the beginning of the school year. I am so very grateful for the time and effort the author put into creating this resource. Thank you for giving me my life back!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Rest is History says “This is my bread and butter and makes up roughly 60% of my teaching materials. The notes are engaging and easy to follow which is why I bought the whole set. I appreciate that the notes also come with guided practice, worksheets, and assessments. Love, love, love this resource! It's been a lifesaver!”

Guided notes are the foundation of my classroom. Here’s why:

• Guided notes keep all students actively engaged in class. Students follow along and fill in missing words and numbers and answer questions. They allow students to focus on problem solving rather than using their working memory to write down everything they hear the teacher say. 
• Students create their own reference guide to help them remember and internalize what they learned in class. They can easily refer back to what they learned in previous classes to help them with spiral review, homework, studying for assessments and most importantly building on prior knowledge to learn new concepts. 
• It helps students organize information and understand what is important. Middle school students are often new to the expectation of notetaking and guided notes are a perfect way to introduce this practice and perfect a lifelong skill. The blanks can be used as cues to help students decipher what is expected of them- they can tell if a longer definition should be recorded or a smaller blank means they should write an important vocabulary word or number. 
• They relieve the stress that many students feel when expected to accurately copy diagrams, figures and equations off the board. Having them right on their notes page allows them to focus on problem solving and less about accurately copying complex notes off the board. 
• Guided notes are especially beneficial for students with special education needs and English Language Learners and can easily be adapted to accommodate specific needs.
