Description

Combining like terms is the focus of this engaging math wheel notes sheet!

  • Students add their combining like terms notes to this graphic organizer, use color to help with memory, and complete practice problems found around the wheel.

What is a math doodle wheel? A math wheel is a type of one-page 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 math wheels are excellent for reviewing concepts as part of your test prep and are great as intervention tools.

The sections of the Combining Like Terms Math Wheel include:

1) Vocabulary

2) Distribute (if needed)

3) Identify Like Terms

4) Combine Like Terms

5) Order Terms

This combining like terms resource includes:

1) TWO versions with THREE options each

  • 1st version: In the Combine Like Terms section there are notes about adding and subtracting negative numbers
  • 2nd version: no notes about adding and subtracting negative numbers in the Combine Like Terms section

THREE options of each version:

  • "Open’ for students to write/add all notes – this version is more flexible, allowing you to phrase notes as you’d like
  • ‘Fill-in’ notes, to help control student use of space; lines are also provided for the problems, to guide space use
  • Pre-filled notes for students who are absent or need pre-filled; lines are provided for the problems; answers to examples and practice problems are NOT on this version

⭐️Each version also comes WITH a patterned background and with NO patterned background.

2) Teacher key/wheel with completed notes and examples

3) Colored sample of wheel

4) PowerPoint file with two editable wheel 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:

  • Notes and examples
  • Guided or independent practice: 10 expressions in the pattern around the circle, for students to practice combining like terms.
  • 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, 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 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 resource:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Different options for filled-in information and a blank circle notes page made this a great resource!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Great for note-taking and practice."
