Description

Need an engaging way to cover the eight Standards for Mathematical Practices? Use this creative, colorful note-taking format as an engaging way to help students learn about and remember the mathematical practices!

What is a math doodle wheel? A math doodle wheel is a structured but creative graphic organizer where students can:

Take notes inside the math wheel
Use color, visuals, drawing, and doodling to help create memory triggers
Add extra grade-level notes or problems around the wheel (like formulas, vocab, symbols)
Color the background pattern, if desired

Students can keep these graphic organizers in their interactive notebooks all year as a resource/study tool.

You can even enlarge the math wheel and use it as a poster or anchor chart!

The sections of this Math Practices Wheel include:

1) Make sense

2) Reason

3) Construct arguments

4) Model with math

5) Use tools

6) Be precise

7) Look for structure

8) Look for regularity

This math wheel resource includes:

1) Student math wheel (TWO versions)

‘Open’ notes for students to fill in (this version is most flexible, allowing you to phrase the notes as you’d like)
Pre-filled notes for absentees, new students, or students who need this option

2) Teacher key/wheel with completed notes

3) Colored sample of wheel

4) A PowerPoint file that has a blank wheel with background, so you can add text to make your own wheels, if you’d like (for classroom use only - not commercial use).

Features of this easy-to-use resource:

Notes sections (notes are suggestions, and you can alter them if you want)
Space in the pattern to add extra notes for your grade level
Coloring/doodling opportunity: students can color the background pattern, as well as the headings and doodle arrows.
- Coloring the background:
  - Students aren't required to color 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, practice making patterns, and enjoy the stress-relief coloring can provide.:-)

CCSSMP1

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, "Does this make sense?" They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.

CCSSMP2

Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations. They bring two complementary abilities to bear on problems involving quantitative relationships: the ability to decontextualize-to abstract a given situation and represent it symbolically and manipulate the representing symbols as if they have a life of their own, without necessarily attending to their referents-and the ability to contextualize, to pause as needed during the manipulation process in order to probe into the referents for the symbols involved. Quantitative reasoning entails habits of creating a coherent representation of the problem at hand; considering the units involved; attending to the meaning of quantities, not just how to compute them; and knowing and flexibly using different properties of operations and objects.

CCSSMP3

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Mathematically proficient students understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments. They make conjectures and build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures. They are able to analyze situations by breaking them into cases, and can recognize and use counterexamples. They justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others. They reason inductively about data, making plausible arguments that take into account the context from which the data arose. Mathematically proficient students are also able to compare the effectiveness of two plausible arguments, distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is flawed, and-if there is a flaw in an argument-explain what it is. Elementary students can construct arguments using concrete referents such as objects, drawings, diagrams, and actions. Such arguments can make sense and be correct, even though they are not generalized or made formal until later grades. Later, students learn to determine domains to which an argument applies. Students at all grades can listen or read the arguments of others, decide whether they make sense, and ask useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments.
