Description
Multiplying decimals notes and practice are all on one sheet with the math wheels! Introduce or review concepts with this engaging, colorful note-taking format.
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 to use as a mini anchor chart/reference sheet.
- The wheels are excellent for reviewing concepts as part of your test prep.
Each section of the Multiplying Decimals Wheel outlines a step of the process:
1) Estimate
2) Set up like whole number multiplication
3) Multiply like whole number multiplication
4) Place the decimal point
5) Compare answer to estimate
- One example is used throughout the wheel, but there may be enough white space to add another example if you want. The example is a 'decimal times decimal' problem.
This decimal multiplication resource includes:
1) THREE versions of the student wheel
- ‘Open’ for students to write notes - this version is most flexible, space-wise
- ‘Fill-in’ notes, to help control student use of space; this version also has a multiplication sign and line, to guide where to set up example problem
- Pre-filled notes; this version also has a multiplication sign and line, to guide where to set up example problem; answers to examples and practice problems are NOT on this version
⭐️Each of the versions comes with a patterned background and with no pattern in the background.
2) Teacher key/wheel with completed notes and examples
3) Colored sample of wheel (sample is little different than current student wheel; adjustments in heading sizes have been made since the sample was created; content is the same)
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 example that carries through the steps
2) Guided or independent practice: 8 problems in the pattern around the circle; the problems use decimals that go to the thousandths place
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, center 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 resource:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I love the wheels! This was a very simple introduction to how to multiply numbers with decimals. I can have a chatty group, so I set the timer for how long I want to spend filling out information... and any leftover time is for coloring! It's a great way to keep them motivated and on task.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “These are great notes on multiplying decimals to add to interactive notebooks!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Students and I are in love with all of the math wheels. The students pull the math wheels out before they pull out any other notes or resources.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I used this with small groups for notes after teaching a mini lesson whole class. I like that it is easy to follow, it's organized, and gives lots of practice for students. I also love the ability to color it!”
