Home » Your New Favorite Math Note Taking Method: Math Wheels!
Students tuning out when it’s time to take math notes and try practice problems?
Trying to create new and engaging ways for students to take notes?
Lack of organization in students’ math notes and example problems?
I’ve tried different note-taking methods with students over the years, like:
The thing is….students benefit from writing information themselves! Handing them pages of completed notes doesn’t help get the content into their brains.
So, when Doodle Notes came on the scene several years back, I wanted to create something similar, but with a little different structure…maybe because my brain just needed the structure of different sections.
And I came up with the idea of ‘math wheels.’ A math wheel is a type of graphic organizer, where students:
Math wheels facilitate interactive learning through the use of doodles and creative visuals, helping students to better engage with the content and retain it.
The use of colorful, engaging visuals and doodles can make learning math more fun and enjoyable for students, increasing their motivation and interest in math.
Math wheels encourage creativity and personalization, allowing students to express themselves and their understanding of the material in unique ways.
There are over 90 math wheels in my TPT shop, for 3rd to 7th grade math topics.
Besides specific math topics, you can also find wheels for:
AND, if you happen to teach ELA too, there are a few grammar wheels for you!
This is a great resource for my students to do note taking and practice problems in their Interactive Math Notebooks. They have a lot of information in them and align very well with our standards and learning goals. I highly recommend!
I love these math wheels! I love using guided notes and these are fun and easy to use. The kids like them and actually use them and refer back to them. Totally worth the money and a time saver!
I’ve used other wheels before with my students, so I went ahead and bought the entire bundle. They are a fabulous way to make math fun and help the students remember concepts.
This is definitely something you want to use in a creative math classroom.
