Squares, square roots, cubes, & cube roots notes and practice for 8th grade math. Use this creative, colorful note-taking format with practice as an engaging way to introduce or review these concepts.

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

• 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, if desired

Students can keep these graphic organizers in their interactive notebooks or binders all year as a reference sheet/study tool.

• The wheels are excellent for reviewing concepts as part of your test prep.
• You can even enlarge the math wheels and use them as posters or anchor charts!

This math wheel resource includes:

1) Student math wheel (MULTIPLE versions)

THREE scaffolded notes versions of the student wheel

• ‘Open’ for students to write/add all notes – this version is most flexible, allowing you to add the notes you’d like
• Fill-in notes, to help control use of space
• Pre-filled notes for absentees, new students, or those who need pre-filled; answers to examples and practice problems are NOT on this version

Each of these versions has Examples/No Examples options.

• The ‘examples’ options have square, cube and root examples provided in each section (students fill in answers).
• The ‘no examples’ do not have the examples, in case you want students to write out each example, include more or fewer examples, or different examples, etc.

⭐️Each version comes with a patterned background and with no pattern in background, so there are 12 versions total.

2) Teacher key/wheel with completed notes and examples

3) Colored sample of wheel

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

The sections of this Squares, Cubes & Roots Math Wheel include:

1) Squares: includes notes and examples (depending on the version you use)

2) Square roots: includes notes and examples; includes the square roots of 2 and 3, to give examples of irrational numbers.

• A square is included here as well, to relate area, side lengths, and square roots

3) Cubes: includes notes and examples (depending on the version you use)

4) Cube roots: includes notes & examples; a cube is included here to relate volume, side lengths, and cube roots

Features of this easy-to-use resource:

1) Notes sections with examples (notes are suggestions, and you can alter them if you want)

2) Guided or independent practice: 12 questions in the pattern around the circle.

3) 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 OR simply outline the shapes in color.
• 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.:-)

⭐️This wheel is part of the 8th Grade Math Wheel Bundle.

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!"
