Why limit your student to plain workbook for 3rd grade math? “Interactive notebook” is a term circulating the internet and growing in popularity. But what exactly is an interactive notebook? What makes it so? What’s the best way to find one online? 3rd grade math can be a challenge, but finding fun ways to study doesn’t have to be.
How are they Beneficial?
With a 3rd grade interactive notebook, students can create a self-driven study tool. Through the flow of creativity centered on their studies, they have the opportunity to think outside of the box. Also, they can build their own personalized learning instrument and fill it with questions, notes, pictures, colors, and more. With the freedom to create as they please, the rules and restraints of math don’t seem so bad.
With interactive notebooks, students have the opportunity to learn in many ways. The hands-on instruction and a multitude of activities allow for many approaches to learning. Your child’s chances of nailing a concept are higher with these fun and colorful tools.
Searching for Interactive Notebooks
Pricing for these varies greatly. You may find a 3rd grade interactive notebook for $40. Conversely, you may find one for $10. Pay attention to whether they are sold alone, or as a bundle with other materials. Oftentimes, they will be sold alongside online 3rd grade math curriculum. This may come in the form of videos, textbooks, or other materials. Many sites offer additional material free or at a discount if you purchase them together. While searching, ensure that you’re stocked up on creative materials as well. This can include highlighters, crayons, colored pencils, scissors, glue, or whatever you feel is necessary. If you’re already well-stocked on these at home, then lucky for you—you’re set!
If you’re on a budget, don’t let that stop you. There are interactive notebooks pre-made to match any budget. On the other hand, you may want to consider making your own. If your child is not already making their own interactive notebook in the classroom, you can create one at home. Seriously, you don’t need fancy equipment or any special booklet. A simple notebook, preferably with graph paper, will work just fine.

15 minutes a day keeps your child’s brain sharp!
If you want some more specific instructions, there are tons of tutorials out there online. 3rd grade math textbooks that your child uses daily can be a massive help. Take a look at what they’re studying. Help them create a table of contents for their notebook. Be sure to leave plenty of space! Number each page as if it were a regular workbook. This will help with organization and keeping track of where to find each lesson. Don’t forget to let your student be creative. These notebooks are just as much about fun as they are about learning math. Pull out those crayons and markers. Stickers can be a fun addition as well.
Create chapters for each math lesson. Have them create a notes section for each chapter. Furthermore, they can create sections for questions, example boxes, areas for problems and solutions, and more. Remember to write back to the table of contents!
