Description
Area of rectangle concepts are more engaging with this colorful math wheel!
- Students take notes, use visuals and color to help with memory, and complete practice problems found around the wheel.
- Students can keep this graphic organizer in their notebooks as a resource/study tool.
Sections of the Area of Rectangles Math Wheel include:
1) Area is…: defines area; includes 2 figures that can be shaded in, to show that area is the ‘inside’ of the shape
- Includes a note about using square units with area
2) Use unit squares: defines unit square and includes 2 examples
- In this section you can discuss what a unit square is and how rectangles and squares can be ‘tiled’ with unit squares, without having gaps or overlaps, to determine the area.
3) Multiply: this section includes the formula ‘length x width’ for area;
- Includes 2 examples, where students can count the unit squares and then identify the length and width, and multiply; and find that they get the same answer as counting the unit squares.
- On the key and sample, the formulas for rectangles and squares are written along the sides of the section; if you won’t be using the formulas, you don’t need to have students add these to their wheels
4) Use decomposing: this section focuses on breaking a shape into smaller rectangles and squares to determine the area of the entire shape.
- This section also includes the note ‘distributive property’ in case you want to discuss how the property is used when calculating the area of the decomposed rectangle; if you won’t discuss this at this point, you don’t need to include it.
5) Find area!: this section includes 3 practice problems – two require decomposing; one is a word problem
This easy-prep area concepts resource includes:
1) THREE versions of the student wheel
- 'Open': spaces for students to write all notes – this gives the most flexibility to tailor the wheel to your teaching
- Fill-in-the-blank notes: helps control students use of space
- Pre-filled notes filled in for absentees or students who need pre-filled not. Answers to examples and practice problems are NOT on this wheel.
⭐️Each version comes with a patterned background and with no pattern in background.
2) Work page to complete practice problems in case you want students to have extra space to work
3) Teacher key/wheel with completed notes and examples
4) Colored sample of wheel
5) PowerPoint file with two editable templates, 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 area resource:
1) Notes sections and examples
2) Guided or independent practice: 8 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.
Notes about 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 this area wheel and math wheels in general:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"This was such a great math center for my students - I will definitely be using these as reinforcement for my math curriculum next year!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"This resource was great and my students really enjoyed using it in the classroom."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"Love these guided notes to review everything we’ve learned about area!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"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."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"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!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"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!"
