Subtraction strategies and concepts for 3rd grade math - guided notes and practice are more engaging with this creative, colorful note-taking format!
What is a math doodle wheel? A math doodle wheel is a type of graphic organizer where students can:
- Take notes inside the math wheel
- Use color, drawing, and doodling to help create memory triggers
- Complete practice problems in the pattern around the wheel, and
- Color the background pattern
Students can keep these graphic organizers in their interactive notebooks all year as a personal anchor chart/reference sheet.
- The wheels are excellent for reviewing concepts as part of your test prep.
- You can even enlarge the math wheels and use them as classroom posters or anchor charts!
The sections of this subtraction strategies math wheel include:
(notes for using/teaching each section are included)
1) Estimate
2) Break apart
3) Adjust #s
4) Use number lines
5) Subtract!: 4 practice problems for guided practice/discussion
This subtraction resource includes:
1) Student math wheel (THREE versions)
- ‘Open’ notes for students to fill in
- Fill-in notes to help control amount of space students use
- Pre-filled notes (this does not include examples/answers)
⭐️EACH version comes with a patterned background and with no pattern in the background.
2) Work page for the practice problems around the wheel
3) Teacher key/wheel with completed notes and examples
4) Colored sample of wheel
5) PowerPoint file with two editable templates ~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 resource:
1) Notes sections with examples (notes are suggestions, and you can alter them a bit if you want).
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; suggestions for coloring are included.
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, center 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 solid – maybe polka dots in one section and squiggly lines in another.
- This coloring part is just a chance to be creative, explore patterns, and enjoy the stress-reduction 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!"
