Page 1: Title Page
Notebook Numbering Instructions Make the very first lined page number 1 (if your notebook starts with a pocket or other pages that are not lined paper, please skip these).
You do not need to circle the number, precede it with the word "page" or anything else -- just write the number.
Always number in the outside corner of each page (i.e., upper left corner for left side pages and upper right corner for right side pages).
Left side pages should always be even numbers.
Right side pages should always be odd numbers.
You may stop numbering when you reach page 140.
