Description
Introduction to division concepts is the focus of this colorful note-taking math wheel format!
What is a math wheel? A math 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.
- You can even enlarge the math wheels and use them as posters or anchor charts!
Sections of the 3rd Grade Division Math Wheel include:
1) = Groups: This section defines division as breaking an amount into equal groups and uses a word problem example to explore the idea. The term quotient is also in this section.
2) Repeated - : In this section, students explore the idea that division is like repeated subtraction. This section has another word problem to help explore division.
3) Arrays: This section shows 3 arrays to help students visualize the whole amount as rows and columns
4) Opposite of x: The notes in this section develop the idea that division is the opposite of multiplication. Fact family examples are included.
5) Unknown factor: This section also focuses on the multiplication/division relationship.
This easy-prep division resource includes:
1) THREE versions of the student wheel
- ‘Open’ for students to write notes: this provides the most flexibility to tailor the wheel to your teaching
- Fill-in notes: helps control use of space
- Pre-filled notes for absentees or students who need pre-filled; answers to examples and practice problems are NOT on this version
⭐️EACH version comes with a patterned background and with no pattern in the background.
2) Teacher key with completed notes and examples
3) Colored sample of wheel
4) 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 division resource:
1) Notes sections and examples
2) Guided or independent practice: 10 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 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!"
