Description
Introduce or review volume concepts with this engaging, colorful 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? It's 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. 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 finding volume wheel include:
1) What is volume?
2) Rectangular prism
3) Cube
4) Composite figures
This 5th grade volume 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 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 wheel 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 resource:
1) Examples and figures in each section
- The composite figures section includes two identical figures, so students can see there are two ways to decompose and get the same solution
2) Guided or independent practice: there are dimensions of 8 figures in the pattern around the circle, for students to practice finding volume. These are labeled either “Cube” or “Rect Prism.”
3) 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 this resource:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This was a big hit with my fifth graders. They enjoyed it after finishing their center work.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Another fun wheel to teach math concepts! My students cheer when I bring these out instead of having to write out the notes on notebook paper!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “We used this to review volume after spring break. It was a fantastic way to get back into the chapter, and my students loved it.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My students loved this as a review to have in their interactive notebooks. We completed these before we became employees of a moving company to load up a moving truck. Great resource.”
