Description
Prime factorization notes are more engaging with this colorful math wheel note-taking format.
- Students take notes, use color to help with memory, and complete practice problems found around the wheel.
- Complete each section as you teach different concepts, or use the wheel as review and complete it after you've taught all concepts.
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!
The sections of the prime factorization wheel include:
1) Use factor tree
2) Use ladder method
3) To find GCF
4) To find LCM
5) To find lowest terms
- Most sections have both steps and examples. If you prefer not to write out the steps, or you phrase them differently than I do, I’d recommend using the ‘open’ notes version. This way you have flexibility to add whatever notes you’d like students to have for these sections. Or you can add more examples.
This resource includes:
1) FOUR versions of the wheel
- Two ‘Open’ for students to write notes - this version is most flexible, space-wise; one version has ‘steps’ headings and the other does not, in case you don’t want to have students write the steps.
- ‘Fill-in’ notes, to help control student use of space
- Pre-filled notes; answers to examples and practice problems are NOT on this version
2) Extra notes page
3) Teacher key/wheel with completed notes and examples
4) Colored sample of wheel
5) PPT file that has a blank wheels with background, 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 resource:
- Notes/terms sections, guided practice problems
- Guided or independent practice around the wheel: 8 problems in the pattern around the circle
- These are all finding prime factorizations or finding the number, given the prime factorizations
- You might want to do these practice problems before the GCF, LCM, lowest terms sections, so student have more practice finding prime factorizations before using them for GCF, etc.
- 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, 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 math wheels:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My students love these wheels! I use them as a note taking resource and students keep them in their folder for reference later."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"The math wheels helped to simplify and organize my students' notes. I love that there's practice problems on each page, too."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"Worth every penny! My students refer to math wheels often to help them remember the concepts. We use them as success criteria. I often teach my lessons using math wheels. A great resource for my students."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"I love this resource and students are incredibly motivated to use them.
