Description
Multiplying decimals in 5th grade math - introduce or review concepts using this engaging, math wheel note-taking format.
- Students take notes, use color to help with memory, and complete practice problems found around the wheel.
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 mini anchor chart/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!
Each section of the decimal multiplication 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
This multiplying decimals resource includes:
1) THREE versions of the student wheel
- ‘Open’ for students to write notes (this version is most flexible, allowing you to phrase the notes as you’d like)
- Fill-in notes, to help control student use of space
- Pre-filled notes; 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/wheel 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 math wheels, if you’d like (for classroom use only - not commercial use).
Features of this easy-to-use resource:
1) Notes sections (notes are just suggestions, and you can alter them or use other examples that better fit your instruction if you’d like)
2) Example problem in each of the steps/sections.
3) Guided or independent practice: 8 problems in the pattern around the circle
- The problems use decimals that go to the hundredths place.
4) Coloring/doodling opportunity: students can color the background pattern, as well as the headings and doodle arrows
Coloring the background:
- 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.
