    16. Beginning Your MISN Your cover should also contain: information and/or images related to three topics in mathematics. Topics should go beyond basic add, subtract, multiply, divide, fractions, etc. Do a little research about what you might be learning in Pre-Algebra.

    17. Beginning Your MISN Your “About the Author” page goes on the back of the very first sheet of paper in your notebook and should contain: information that lets someone know who you are. It should have writing AND at least THREE (3)images. Include things such as information about your family, hobbies, likes/dislikes, favorite things, etc. This is your chance to be super creative!

You will number them with lowercase Roman numerals as follows: i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, x, xi, xii, xiii, xiv Page i should be a right page and Page xiv should be a left page. Title each of the fourteen pages with the words “Table of Contents.”

The fourth section will be for your warm-up exercises. The last section will be for any additional assignments and for blank paper should you need it. This would be a good place to put your Morning Warm-Ups or a calendar/agenda.

    22. A few reminders to help you keep an organized MISN Odd pages should always be on the right; even pages should always be on the left. Whenever something is added to the Table of Contents, write it down immediately! Whenever you receive a handout for your notebook, put the page number on it and put it in your notebook immediately!
