Binder Control Question/Board to Paper

Did any of you require organized binders for your students? How did you go about it? Did you have a working space for each subject as well as a homework section? Did you number each page of notes, even if they were in notebooks?

I would like to try this next year but am looking for the "straightest path" as Teach Like a Champion would call it.

Something I want to implement next year from the get go is Board to Paper. We started Math Notebooks a little late, but students were able to write what I did, plus any other notes about the concept, and examples of their own. I felt it was easy to get them from a concept (such as perimeter) to check (by having them draw examples that I could check).

It was also a good way to encourage correct spelling - if it was on the board, it was a no excuses word. :)
