Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals can sometimes be confusing for students. Introduce or review all the decimal operations in one place with this engaging math wheel format!

• Having all the operations and practice problems on one notes 'worksheet' can help students see how the operation procedures are the same and different.

What is a math wheel? A math doodle 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.

The sections of the Decimal Operations Math Wheel outline the steps for each operation:

1) Add

2) Subtract

3) Multiply

4) Divide

This easy-to-use decimal operations resource includes:

1) Decimal Operations math wheel

There are two versions of the wheel

• 1st version: students can write the process of each operation themselves – this is the one in the sample. In this case, they can write the processes worded as you’d like
• 2nd version has the process notes filled in, in case you’d prefer to have them filled in for the students (or in case some students need pre-filled notes)

2) Teacher key/wheel with completed notes and examples

3) Colored sample of wheel

4) A PowerPoint file that has a blank wheel with background, 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 sections and examples (notes are just suggestions, and you can alter them or use other examples that better fit your instruction if you’d like)
• Guided practice or individual practice: 12 problems in the pattern around the circle, for students to practice all operations – these could be used for additional guided practice or for individual practice. The problems use decimals that go to the hundredths place.
• Coloring/doodling opportunity: students can color the background pattern, as well as the headings and doodle arrows
