Who this math journal is for
This journal is for students from upper elementary through middle school who want to truly understand math, not just get answers. It suits homeschoolers, tutoring sessions and classroom math notebooks. It is especially helpful for children who rush, make careless mistakes or find word problems hard to start.
How to use your math journal
Use the problem solving pages to work through one problem slowly: what you know, what you need and how you solved it. Show your working on the grid pages. Add new terms to the math vocabulary list and practice facts on the facts page. When something goes wrong, note it in the mistake log and how to fix it. Write a short reflection each week and track test grades on the grade tracker.

What grade levels does it suit?
It works well from about third to eighth grade. Look for the "Grade Tracker" page in the 12-page math journal. Every page is undated, so you can start any day and reprint a page whenever it fills up. Download it free, print only the pages you need and add more copies of any page later.
Why is there a mistake log?
Writing down mistakes and fixes helps children spot patterns and avoid repeating them. Look for the "Mistake Log" page in the 12-page math journal. Every page is undated, so you can start any day and reprint a page whenever it fills up.
Does it work with any curriculum?
Yes. It is designed to sit alongside whatever math program you use. Other pages in the 12-page math journal include "Problem Solving Page", "Working Page" and "Math Vocabulary", so related notes stay together. Print the A4 or US Letter PDF as often as you need, or write in the digital version on a tablet.
Is the Math Journal really free?
Yes, the Math Journal is completely free for personal use. Download the 12-page PDF without an account or email address, print it at home as often as you like and share the page link with friends. Matching bundles on our Etsy shop are optional and paid; this single planner stays free.
What size is the Math Journal?
The Math Journal comes in A4 (210 x 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 x 11 inches), plus a hyperlinked digital PDF for tablets. Choose the file that matches the paper in your printer and print at Actual size or 100%, so nothing is cut off. Both paper sizes have the same 12 pages.
