Divisibility Rules Math Doodle Wheel Notes 4th-6th Grades

This Divisibility Rules math doodle wheel is an interactive graphic organizer that makes introducing or reviewing divisibility rules engaging and memorable for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students (also a great fit for 7th grade review).

You can use the print or digital version, or both, depending on student needs!

When using a Math Wheel, students:

• Take notes in sections of the wheel
• Use color, drawing, and doodling to help create memory triggers
• Complete practice problems around the wheel
• Color the background pattern, if desired

Students can keep their math wheels in their interactive notebooks all year as reference sheets/personal anchor charts.

• You can even enlarge the math wheels and use them as posters or anchor charts!
• The wheels are excellent for reviewing concepts as part of your test prep.

This easy-to-use divisibility rules resource for 4th-6th grade includes:

• THREE versions of the student wheel, each WITH and WITHOUT the patterned background ~ so SIX versions total:
  • 1st version (‘open’) has space for students to write all notes ~ this gives the most flexibility to tailor the wheel to your teaching.
  • 2nd version has fill-in-the-blank notes; this can help control the amount of space students use for writing.
  • 3rd version has pre-filled notes for students who need pre-filled notes or were absent during instruction. Examples & answers to practice problems are NOT included on this version.
  • The versions with no background are included for students who might find the background pattern distracting.
• Teacher key/wheel with completed notes and examples
• Colored sample of print wheel
• Practice page and key
• Link to digital, interactive wheel and practice page in Slides (could be downloaded as a PPT if you aren’t using Google Slides in the classroom but can access the link)
• A PowerPoint file that has two blank, editable wheels, so you can add text to make your own math wheels, if you’d like (for classroom use only – not commercial use).

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.
