Description
Adding fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators - introduce or review the concepts, using this colorful, engaging math wheel!
What is a math wheel? A math 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 resource/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!
Each section of the adding fractions and mixed numbers wheel outlines a step of the fraction addition process (standard algorithm):
1) Find common denominators
2) Add whole numbers (if there are any)
3) Add numerators (keep denominators the same)
4) Simplify
- Two examples are carried through each step. The examples are labeled Example 1 and Example 2 in each step/section.
This easy-to-use adding fractions resource includes:
1) THREE versions of the student wheel
- ‘Open’ for students to write notes (this version is most flexible, allowing you to phrase any notes as you’d like)
- ‘Fill-in’ notes, to help control student use of space (there aren’t many notes; this version has fraction bars as guidance for where to write).
- Pre-filled notes; answers to examples and practice problems are NOT on this version. (This version also has fraction bars as guidance for where to write).
⭐️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 resource:
1) Notes sections with examples (notes are just suggestions, and you can alter them or use other examples that better fit your instruction if you’d like).
2) Guided or independent practice: 6 practice 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
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 this adding fractions resource:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “These math wheels are perfect to show step-by-step math!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My students loved using this - it really helped them get the concepts.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“Students and I are in love with all of the math wheels. The students pull the math wheels out before they pull out any other notes or resources.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I used this for note taking to review for our state test. It was a great reminder of how to add and subtract fractions. Including practice problems around the notes is brilliant. Thanks for such quality work!"
