Description
Comparing whole numbers is the focus of this engaging, creative (but structured) note-taking math wheel.
- 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 Whole Numbers Wheel include:
1) <, >, = : this section has a few examples and uses the visual of a balance/scale to show greater, less than or equal to
2) Use Place Value Chart: students enter the digits for each number into the chart and compare the numbers place by place to see where one number is greater than the other
3) Use Expanded Form: students write each number in expanded form, according to the place values, to again see where one number is greater than the other
4) Practice: this section includes a place value chart that students can use for a couple of the problems
This easy-prep comparing numbers 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
- 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 to complete the practice problems if needed. These are the same problems found in the pattern around the wheel. You don’t need to use this sheet, but some students might benefit from using the place value charts.
- OR you might require students to show the expanded form on this page, for some extra expanded form 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 numbers resource:
1) Notes sections and examples (notes are 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
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 and enjoy the stress-relief coloring can provide:-)
What teachers are saying about the comparing numbers wheel and about math wheels in general:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"I used this as a comprehensive review of several lessons-love that it was all on one page!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The notes with the examples and work on the outside were good for students to practice what was being learned."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"My students loved the wheel notes and so do I! I think it is such a creative and different way to take guided notes."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"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!"
