I used the Grip and Rip technique to add notebook pages this week. I glued them in sideways and they look like this (image below). Groovy! You can click on the image to enlarge it. Please make sure your notebook is up to date by checking your k-mails and looking at past math posts.

One more thing...

Here's how to type a division symbol in CC, if you are wondering! 

Windows/PC:
