Description

Addition with number lines and place value are a couple of the addition strategies in this engaging, colorful note-taking format!

  • Students take notes, use visuals and color to help with memory, and complete practice problems found around the wheel.
  • Students can keep this graphic organizer in their notebooks as a math reference sheet throughout the year.

Sections of the Adding Whole Numbers Math Wheel include:

1) Addition terms: addends, sum, and place value, with some place value blocks to review place values

2) + place values: this section focuses on breaking the addends into the place values, adding each place value, and then adding those partial sums

  • This section also includes a place value table to use for an example.
  • ‘Associative property’ is included in the notes along the edge of this section, in case you want to discuss or reinforce the idea that adding by place values is grouping the numbers in different ways, but still getting the same answer.

3) Number lines: this section includes open number lines so students can add the numbers in the ways that make the most sense to them, like adding some ones to get to a 5 or a 10; or adding a greater amount and then subtracting.

  • ‘Compatible numbers’ is a note along the side of this section, in case you talk about using compatible numbers when adding. If you don’t use that term, then that note doesn’t need to be added.
  • ‘Compensation’ is added along the next section, in case you discuss this as a strategy. Compensation is used in both this section and the next. Again, if you aren’t using that term now, that note doesn’t need to be added.

4) Let’s Add!: in this section students can add in any way you’d like, including using the standard algorithm and regrouping if you’re discussing that.

This easy-prep adding whole numbers resource includes:

1) THREE versions of the student wheel

  • 1st version has spaces for students to write all notes – this gives the most flexibility to tailor the wheel to your teaching
  • 2nd version has fill-in-the-blank notes; this can help control the amount of space students use for writing
  • 3rd version has notes filled in for students who need pre-filled notes. Answers to examples and practice problems are NOT on this wheel.
  • NOTE: I encourage students to use symbols in their notes when possible (as long as they know what the symbols mean), like # for number, = for equal, x for multiplying, + for adding, etc. This takes up less space.

⭐️Each version comes with a patterned background and with no pattern in the background.

2) Teacher key/wheel with completed notes and examples

3) Colored sample of wheel

4) PowerPoint file with two editable templates, so you can add text to make your own math wheels, if you’d like (for classroom use only - not commercial use).

Features of this easy-to-use addition concepts resource:

1) Notes sections and examples

2) Guided or independent practice: 10 problems in the pattern around the circle

3) Coloring/doodling opportunity: students can color the background pattern, as well as the headings and doodle arrows, however they like.

Coloring the background, if you use the patterned versions:

  • Students don’t HAVE to color at all during instructional time….coloring the background could be an ‘early finisher’ activity, homework, etc.
  • Students don’t need to color every section of the background – part of their coloring pattern could be to leave sections white.
  • Students could color sections with patterns instead of solids – maybe polka dots in one section and squiggly lines in another.
  • This coloring part is just a chance to be creative and enjoy the stress-relief coloring can provide:-)

What teachers are saying about math wheels:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"These Math Doodle Wheel are interactive, engaging, and great to use with student notebooks! And I love the scaffolded versions - great to use for students with accommodations!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"Taking notes used to be something challenging for my students. The resource engages ALL of my students as they all ask to color code everything. When I teach a new math skill, my students automatically ask if they can get a math doodle wheel to take notes in."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"My students absolutely love using the wheel as notes. It makes it easy for them to find the information when they need it and they can kind of doodle as a writing so they don’t get bored."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"I love these math wheels!! I love using guided notes and these are fun and easy to use. The kids really like them and actually use them and refer back to them. Totally worth the money and a time saver!"
