What is a Math Journal?

Students work on a variety of math skills in their Math Journal. A Math Journal is a notebook that each student works in several days each week. Students divide their paper into four boxes. I write four simple review math problems on the board. Students have to complete each math problem in their notebook. This exercise is meant to be a quick review of skills and allows me to see whether students are able to apply these math skills. Below is an example of one of our recent math journals and a student's completed math journal.
