Introduction to functions, domain and range notes for 8th grade math. Use this creative but structured note-taking format, with practice, as an engaging way to introduce or review functions, relations, domain, range, and vertical line test.

What is a math doodle wheel? It's a graphic organizer for students to:

• 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, if desired

Students can keep these graphic organizers in their interactive notebooks or binders all year as a reference sheet/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!

The sections of this Functions Math Wheel include:

1) Relation: includes definition, mapping diagram, and table; students add the ordered pairs for each

2) Function: includes definition, mapping diagram, and table; students add the ordered pairs for each

3) Input: includes definition, and the terms ‘domain’ and ‘x-value.’ There aren’t a lot of notes in this section, so there’s room for students to add more notes, examples, or visuals if you choose. The function machine ‘begins’ in this section and goes into the ‘output’ section.

4) Output: includes definition, and the terms ‘range’ and ‘y-value.’ As with the ‘Input’ section, there aren’t a lot of notes, so there’s room for students to add more notes, examples, or visuals.

5) Graphs & Vertical Line Test: includes definition of vertical line test and 4 graph examples.

This math wheel resource includes:

1) Student math wheel (THREE versions)

• ‘Open’ notes for students to fill in (this version is most flexible, allowing you to phrase the notes as you’d like)
• Fill-in notes to help control amount of space students use
• Pre-filled notes (this does not include examples/answers)

⭐️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 samples of wheel

4) PowerPoint file with two editable templates ~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 suggestions, and you can alter them if you want)

2) Guided or independent practice: 10 questions 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 aren't required to color 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, practice making patterns, and enjoy the stress-relief coloring can provide.:-)

⭐️This wheel is part of the 8th Grade Math Wheel Bundle.

What teachers are saying about math wheels:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"These Math Doodle Wheel are interactive, engaging, and great to use with student notebooks! And I love the scaffolded versions - great to use for students with accommodations!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"Taking notes used to be something challenging for my students. The resource engages ALL of my students as they all ask to color code everything. When I teach a new math skill, my students automatically ask if they can get a math doodle wheel to take notes in."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"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!"
