Description
Comparing fractions notes are more engaging with this creative but structured note-taking format, with multiple notes options for your students.
- Students take notes, use color to help with memory, and complete practice problems found around the wheel.
What is a math wheel? It's a 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 the math wheels in their interactive notebooks all year as a personal anchor chart/reference sheet.
Sections of the Comparing Fractions Wheel include:
1) <, >, =
2) If same numerator
3) If same denominator
4) Use models
5) Use benchmarks
6) Find equivalent fractions
This easy-prep comparing fractions resource includes:
1) THREE versions of student math wheel
- ‘Open’ notes for students to add all notes & examples
- Fill-in notes: helps control uses of space; on this version, some of the labels on the models are included, but some are missing, so students can label some.
- Pre-filled notes for absentees or students who need pre-filled. Answers to examples and practice problems are NOT on this wheel.
⭐️Each version comes with a patterned background and with no pattern in the background.
2) Work page with fraction strips and number lines and the practice problems from around the circle, in case you want
students to have models to refer to when they complete the practice
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 wheels, if you’d like (for classroom use only - not commercial use).
Features of this easy-to-use comparing fraction resource:
1) Notes sections and examples (notes are just suggestions, and you can alter them or use additional examples if you’d like)
2) Guided or independent practice: 12 problems in the pattern around the circle
- You can use a color code for easy checking on this wheel
3) Coloring/doodling opportunity: students can color the background pattern, as well as the headings and doodle arrows, however they like.
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, explore patterns, and enjoy the stress-relief coloring can provide:-)

What teachers are saying about math wheels:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"My students loved the wheel notes and so do I! I think it is such a creative and different way to take guided notes."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"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!"
