The post Classroom Expectations, Class Rules Doodle Wheel appeared first on Cognitive Cardio Math.

What is a math doodle wheel? A math doodle wheel is a type of graphic organizer where students can:

• Take notes inside the sections of 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 reference sheet or personal anchor chart.

• 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.

Sections of the properties wheel include:

1) Commutative Property

2) Associative Property

3) Distributive Property

4) Identity Property of Multiplication

5) Identity Property of Addition

This easy-to-use properties resource includes:

1) THREE versions of the addition & multiplication properties student wheel

• ‘Open’, with spaces for students to write all notes and examples: gives the most flexibility to tailor the wheel to your teaching
• Fill-in: helps control use of space
• Pre-filled: for students who need pre-filled notes or for absentees. Answers to examples and practice problems are NOT on this wheel.

⭐️Each version comes with a patterned background and with no pattern in the background.

2) Teacher keys with completed notes

3) Colored samples of wheel

4) PowerPoint file with two wheel templates, so you can add text to make your own math wheels, if you’d like (for classroom use only – not commercial use).

** This download is a Zip file that includes a PDF and the editable PPT (wheel templates).

Features of this 5th, 6th grade math properties resource:

1) Notes sections & examples (notes are suggestions; you can alter them or use other examples that better fit your instruction if you’d like)

2) Guided or independent practice: 20 problems in the pattern around the circle

• Students identify each property and then color the section according to the color code on the wheel.
• The color-coding (for patterned backgrounds) gives you a quick way to check student understanding.

3) Coloring/doodling opportunity: students can color the background pattern, headings, and doodle arrows

Notes about coloring the background, if you use the patterned versions:

• Students don’t HAVE to color at all during instructional time (except for the color-coded answers)….coloring the rest of 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:-)

What teachers are saying about this resource:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“I was able to use this with my class as a review from what we had just learned. It was a great reinforcement activity that they actually enjoyed!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“My student really liked how interactive this resource is. Those that love art (but not so much learning math) were especially appreciative!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“This was so fun to use with students. We completed it together. It was easy to understand and use. Students enjoyed coloring when completed. Next time, I will add it to their math journals.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This was a fun way to take notes on the properties of addition and multiplication. It was a nice way to mix up our math lesson :)”

Using this divisibility rules math doodle wheel (print):

Use this math wheel to introduce or review divisibility rules with 4th, 5th, 6th and even 7th grade students.

• The sections of the wheel include the rules for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10 AND the meanings of divisible, prime, and composite.
• Examples and suggested notes are in each section.
• 8 practice problems are in the pattern around the circle, for guided or independent practice.
• Students can color the background pattern for fun, as well as the headings and doodle arrows.
• You can even print an enlarged wheel to use as a divisibility rules poster or anchor chart!

Digital Use:

Students will be able to design their own wheel, in some ways!

What students will do:

• Drag the large numbers to the 7 ‘open’ sections of the wheel.
• Type digits into the provided text boxes to complete each rule, and then drag the rule to the correct section of the wheel.
• Drag the example numbers to the appropriate sections; these are color-coded by number
• Type any additional notes or examples as needed.
