Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding
A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your maths lessons.
In addition to individual student work time, use this set of hand-on materials to enhance learning through guided math groups or whole class lessons.
If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:
🆘 Support Struggling Students
Help students who need help understanding the concepts by using a fewer number of pieces. Students can work with halves and quarters first, then gradually work with larger pieces.
➕ Challenge Fast Finishers
For students needing an additional challenge, encourage them to create equivalent fractions for each piece they create.
