Inch Binder For Social Studies: Fill & Download for Free

I guess I will start with what I put my math work in. I prefer to use binders for my school work. I generally organize my binders by color, so my math binders are typically either Black, Blue, or Purple. Why these colors? Idk. I remember in middle school I had to have a black binder for my math classes (for whatever reason) so the tradition of getting black binders for math has stuck since. If I’m taking more than one math class per semester (as I normally do) then I go with those colors. Also, my math binders are always 2 inches. I have found that between all the notes and stuff I do in a math class in a semester, 1.5 inch binders are too small and anything beyond 2 inches is too big and just takes up too much space in my backpack. I personally prefer the rubber reinforced plastic binders from Staples that are expensive but boy are those things durable. On the front of these binders is a cover that I ALWAYS put my name, email and phone number, the course, the room number and hall, and the professor on it, just in case I were to leave it somewhere, somebody would hopefully be a good samaritan and either contact me or the professor and say they have my binder.Within my binders I organize it with tabs which are notes/handouts, homework/worksheets, tests/quizzes, solutions, and paper. I use college bound, 8.5 by 11 inch reinforced paper because it is more sturdy and I have a greater area to do problems and I typically have about 200–400 sheets of paper in a math binder. This might seem like a lot but between a semester of homework and notes (I believe proper note taking is a key to being successful in mathematics) and making little study guides and what not, that is what it normally amounts to.For each tab, I always staple anything that goes together. For instance, if my homework takes multiple pages (Which is very common, I don’t write small. I like to write big and neat and show ALL the work necessary so the instructor can very clearly see how I got to my solution), I will staple my homework together so it is nice and neat. The same goes for my notes. I also organize the papers within each tab by the date I got them or used them. So by the end of the semester, what we will have done most recently will be the first thing you see if you flip to that tab, and at the very back of the tab, the first thing we did in the semester will be there. I do this so when I have to refer to notes, homework, a past test/quiz or solution, I can flip to the tab and it is right there.That’s how I organize my binders, I guess now I’ll go into how I organize my notes and homework (and what my setting is for doing homework and stuff).I pride myself on how neat my notes are haha. I believe it highly important to not only take notes in class and copy down the examples, but make sure you copy them down NEATLY so later you may refer back to them and know what the hell you said/took down. I begin by writing the date at the top of the page and the chapter and section the notes are on. I then proceed to copy down whatever is on the board but because I write slow and can get behind, I don’t copy everything down. By the end of the class, I might be missing some steps or an example (this was commonly the case in my discrete math class. Holy hell my professor put a lot of stuff on the board haha). So, I would also take pictures of what is on the board if the professor allows that. I also, if the professor does this, will print out the notes if he/she puts them online. This way, I have neat organized notes I have taken, but also, the notes from the actual professor as well. I star any important theorems or relations/equations to know, and whenever there is an example done, I always do “Ex 1.)” The number will change depending on the example, so if it’s the 4th example done in class, it will be on paper “Ex 4.)” As said earlier, I don’t write small, but I don’t write gargantuan either. It’s similar to Times New Roman 18 font or something like that in size. I don’t want to have to squint to read what I wrote but I’ve seen some people’s notes and boy do they have big handwriting haha. Also, I write dark. Some people write very lightly, but again, I don’t want to have to get a magnifying glass or wear glasses to read what I took down. So yes, I am using a lot of paper (sorry trees), but from all the money it costs to get a college degree or for a class, if doing well in that class means using a bit more paper than other people, so be it.For homework, I first find a nice quiet space where I’ll be alone. I am introverted, so others might prefer a more social setting, but, if I’m going to sit down and focus for a few hours and do some math homework (or just homework in general), I prefer to be alone in a place that is quiet. So this is why I go to the very top floors of my library. If I can book a room to do work in, that is even better (because I have more space). I also believe it to be important to be comfortable when doing homework because otherwise it can be hard to focus. So I usually have some snack food and/or a drink handy (usually trail mix or nuts of some kind, or grapes—basically food of the gods—and either a bottle of water or a naked fruit juice drink) and am wearing comfortable clothes so I won’t be too hot or too cold (shorts and a t-shirt are common, but in winter it’s usually my under armor hoodie and sweatpants, I also like to be freshly showered if possible, but definitely clean feeling). I then sit down and get out my textbook (and if there is a solutions manual to the textbook, I’ll have that and get that out too), binder, snack stuff, and my laptop (from my experience, the solutions manuals only have every other odd) so I can access chegg if I need it. I then open up the textbook in front of me, take out my notes from that day and a few sheets of paper and get busy. I always write my name and date on homework as well as the chapter and section the homework is on. I also write down the page number(s) of the homework problems and the numbers of the problems as well. So the top of the page will have my name, the date, and something like “Chapter 7.4 HW pgs 347–349/#’s 1–19 odd, 21, 25, 31–35.” This way I won’t have to keep referring to the syllabus to check and see what problem I’m supposed to do next. When I’m actually doing my homework, I always write down the initial problem in its entirety so I don’t have to keep looking at the book. If it’s a word problem, I just write down what I believe the be the important points. I then show all my work and all the steps (even the small algebra ones) so my professor can see from start to finish EXACTLY how I got to my answer. I always try to draw my graphs (if I need to) very neatly and precisely so I can have a good, not confusing picture to look at. If I get stuck on a problem, I’ll do what I can and come back to it and star it as well so if I truly can’t figure it out, I can ask about it in class the next day. I only use the back of the book solutions, solutions manual, or chegg to check my answers or if I don’t even know how to start a problem, give me a little hint to get me going and I can consult it from there onward if need be. I very rarely just copy an answer down. I mean, yes, if I have literally abso-fucking-lutely no idea what the hell I’m supposed to do, if I can’t get a hold of the professor in email, I will just copy down an answer but certainly star it and ask about it in class the next day. Also, if I have any questions as I’m doing the homework, I’ll write them down so I can ask them in class the next day. Like, if I star a problem, I write down what I’m going to ask so I don’t forget what I wanted to ask.After doing the homework, I’ll read the section in the textbook in preparation for what we’ll be talking about the next day so I get a little preview and can ask any questions (I’ll write those down too at the very end of my homework in a little section I have at each the end of each homework that I box off called “Questions about next section: Ch 7.5 _____”) I may have or get them answered with the notes.Just something random, I like to use mechanical pencils with 0.9 lead. I like how sturdy those pencils are.I really find a lot of success by organizing my math work this way. Everything is so neat and precise I know exactly where everything is and it just makes the whole process of learning something new that much easier. Now, organizing one’s math work like so is not a ticket to an easy A. I did this in my discrete math class and boy did I have to fight for the grade I got (A-) but doing this certainly helped (as well as plenty of time in office hours. Those notes were labelled office hours and would be inserted in my notes section or test review section depending on when I went in). It also just I think helps to be organized as a person in general. It makes things so much more efficient and you can spend more time on what’s important.TL;DR: I get a good binder that can hold a lot of paper and use tabs to make various sections within that binder. I then take very careful notes and do homework alone with some snacks and drink so I am cozy so I can focus well.I hope this helps and answers your question! Have a good one, OP!PS: I just recommend you do this in general. The way I organize my math binder and take notes and such is what I try to do for all my classes. Not all classes need such intensive organization, but, I find for STEM courses, doing this has definitely been helpful for me. Also! My cousin does this, and he sold some of his engineering and math binders to some upcoming students for those classes and made some money doing it! Hahah, I personally wouldn’t do this as if they were caught it could be considered cheating and then you would be in some hot water, but, I think he made ~150 bucks between selling a few of his engineering and math binders.

If you want to do it, it will take determination, determination, and yes, determination. You have to place your goal in front of you and exclude all of the distractions that limit most people in their daily lives.If you are going to do this, you have to have great determination. You have to be willing to put your goal ahead of everything else. I had the enthusiastic support of my wife and two kids. I had mini goals and macro goals that I reached. You will have to give up the social media like Quora, Facebook, Twitter, Linkden, etc. They are not needed in your world. Later, yes. Now, no. I couldn’t study for 8 hours straight because I had a job, but any and all free time was used for study.In 1992, I decided to study for a CSP-Certified Safety Professional. There were very few people who had such certification and the test was two 8 hour close-book tests to be taken 6 months apart. As a chemist, I can safely state that the test(s) were the hardest I have ever taken.I prepared by deciding what it was that I wanted to study in particular. Engineering formula, physics formula, medical terms, etc. so that I had set goals. Then I bought a scientific calculator and went through the instruction booklet-twice, working every single problem. When the test time came, I would know how to use the calculator without having to hunt for the correct buttons to push.I got a print out of all of the published problems on the test. I got copies of most of the books on their recommended reading list since there was no formal classes for the certification given at that time. As I read each book, I would only read a paragraph at a time, high lighting the important parts of the it. Then I would close my eyes and try to reduce the paragraph to a sentence. Once I had condensed the paragraph, I would go on to the next one. If there was nothing of concern in one, it didn’t get highlighted. Next.I had a note binder of the problems that they had used and it was over an inch and a half thick. I worked my way through it several times working each and every problem, even when I knew the answer.At first, it was hard. I wanted to read and watch TV, but as my mind grew used to the regimen, it became easier and easier. Finally, it seemed like study was the right thing to do! The only thing to do. I wish I had had that much determination when I was in college.When I went to work, I rode the bus to give me 45 minutes more study time in the morning and evening instead of driving even though driving was faster. Going to work was study time. At work, lunch time was study time. Going home was another study time. Study till dinner. Dinner was a half hour while I watched the news and ate. Study till bed time.Next day, repeat. Repeat every day till the test. Take test. Pass test. Relax for 2 months. Begin regimen all over again.Take test. Pass test. Become a proud member of an exclusive club: Certified Safety Professional. Perhaps I should be proud of becoming a degreed chemist, but I am prouder still for becoming a CSP.Perhaps my methodology is not for everyone, but it certainly worked for me. Goal oriented determination study will do it.

okokokokokkokokokok yes i dohereLockers:LoCkERs ArEnt THaT AmAzinG. i thought it was so cool before i got to middle school. but NOPE NOPE NOOOPE. plus ive always gotten broken ones. and it can get really messy if u dont take care of it.keep it NEAT.leave ur schedule somewhere u can easily see on the first days of school. after a while u get used to itdont always get EXACTLY whats on the school supplies list. only get what ur gonna need. if u need a 1 1/2 inch binder u really dont need to get an exact 1 1/2 inch binder. u can get a 2 inch binder. its really not that big of a difference, and just in case u need more room, u have more room.if they ask u to bring tissues for the classroom, BRING IT. a lotta people fake blow their nose in class to avoid work, so u can help them by bringing tissues. also because of covidin the hallways when ur switching classes, dont talk to ur friends. get ur stuff out of ur locker, and THEN talk to ur friendsu dont have to make ur locker presentable. its not like in the movies when u have like an hour break in between every single class. u really cant make it a hangout spot. make it neat and organized so you know where everything is. u dont want missing papers in the depths of ur locker (trust me its not great)if u get to choose ur locker, dont choose it next to ur friends. i mean, u can, but u should choose a locker closest to all ur classes. u can talk to ur friends at lunch or after school. but not when u got like 3 minutes to get to ur next class.if ur allowed to, decorate ur friends lockers on their b-day! its really fun.DO NOT LEAVE FOOD IN UR LOCKER. it smells, and u can get an infestation of bugs or whatever. just trust me, JUST DONT DO IT.dont get a mirror for ur locker. all the locker mirrors are so cheap and they dont stick on well and they arent big so its really not that great. if u need a mirror, get a higher quality one u can use for a long time. if not just use the bathroom mirror.have an agenda or something to write down all ur missing assignments/homework and keep it in ur locker so u get reminded throughout the day.DONT LEND RANDOM PEOPLE MONEY OR PENCILS/PENS OR HAIR-TIES. unless they are ur friend or a non-forgetful person i SWEARRR ur not getting it back.its not gonna be terrible if u dont make ur locker look nice and pretty. honestly ur backpack and coat and books are gonna make it look ugly anyway.if u find random pencils/pens on the floor TAKE IT. hide it in a safe place. finders keepers. ur gonna need it.Social wise:dont try to be popular and dont get involved with the popular people. most of them are really rude and snotty so just dont be one of them.make friends with the weird kid because usually they are really nice and a loyal frienddont worry about relationships because its usually not that big of a deal. they usually dont even last. and if u do go on a date, dont make it awkward or anything. just chill as friends and have fun!dont let older kids look down on uDO NOT EVER EVER EVERRR GOSSIP. its never a good idea and u seriously dont wanna get involved.be careful who u are friends with. people can walk all over u. (its happened to me)but dont be antisocial! get out there and make friends! a lot of them wont be ur real friends but that also teaches u things. it can be difficult to decipher between a real friend and a fake friend. but as long as u DO have friends who will actually hang out with u, you’ll be ok and u wont be lonely.figure out what u wanna do in the future. its not high school yet, but u should get to know yourself more. explore in what ur good at, what u like, find ur talents. if u know all that then try to excel in that in some way. have a plan so u arent unprepared for the future. i mean u dont have to but sometimes it can be a good ideaspend time with ur family. ur honestly going to need it because this is the period when u go from childhood, to teenage hood. and that period can be really hard. but whenever it does get hard, just know that as long as u dont give up, there is hope… REMEMBER THATif ur having a hard time making friends, well im an extrovert so idk how to help u. sorryDONT FOLLOW EVERY SINGLE TREND. especially if its a certain shoe everyone’s wearing or something like that. usually its out of style a month later so dont waste ur money (or ur parents’ money)dont shut people out when ur having a rough time. (like elsa hehe) it just makes things worse in most casesdont be a fake just to make people like u.dont EVER talk about ur friends behind their back. or right in front of them. if u have nothin nice to say, just dont say itbe respectful to ur teachersif u pass notes in class, buy like a small notebook instead so u dont hear the crinkling noises. kinda like this:that way u can keep ur convos in there and its fun to see them years later.dont let ANYOOOOOONEEEEEE see ur notes. dont make it known to anyone. they are gonna try to take it (most likely)if someone asks for notes or answers to an assignment, GIVE IT TO THEM. they owe you, and its being nice. even if you’ve never met them before.being popular isnt everything.dont retaliate when someone picks on u. just say like, “wait, what did u say? i couldnt hear.” or like, “wait i dont get it.” trust me, thats SOOO MUCH BETTER. if u dont wanna do that, then just ignore them. if they hurt u physically tell a teacher. but bullys are just jerks for no reason. they could be hurt themselves. so just dont make a big deal out of it, and they might not bother u again because it doesnt seem to affect u.dont follow the wrong crowd. if u know its wrong, dont do it.Academic wise:focus on ur studies. This is when it starts to matter more. and trust me, STUDY. idc if its boring. it pays off because on tests and homework ur gonna know ur stuff.PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS.KNOW UR TEACHERS. know the rules of each teacher, what u can get away with from each teacher, remember all the little details. You’ll know which teacher only explains it once, and which teacher reviews everything through the whole class so u dont get anything done. SO PAY ATTENTION.take open notes. it’ll impress ur teacher (probably) and u have some notes if u forget anything. Its really helpful.take ur schoolwork seriously. and if ur trying ur best and still not doing great, ask ur parents for help or get a tutor. ask a friend.if ur doing online school, then just take screenshots of the board. (its very helpful)study with friends! because of covid u can facetime or something too. its good to help eachother and stuff. (trust me, i did my research for a research paper i had to do this year. and my Language Arts teacher is an ACTUAL AUTHOR.) Here is an amazon link of a books she wrote:Amazon.com: L.A. Kuehlke: Books, Biography, Blog, Audiobooks, Kindlehttps://www.amazon.com/L.A.-Kuehlke/e/B004XMO8Y0%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_sharewhen i heard an author was gonna be my teacher this year i was SOOO excited!ok anyway i think thats it. if i think of more i’ll add more.oh btw im in 7th grade so im still in middle school.
