Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your graphs and data lessons.

In addition to individual student work time, use this activity to enhance learning through math groups, whole class lessons, or remote learning assignments.

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners and ELL/ESL students, we have a few suggestions for keeping students on track with these concepts:

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Provide students with physical manipulatives to move and count, in order to practice 1-1 correspondence, before moving them on to scaled intervals (many-to-one representations).

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Have students create their own pictograph of a survey they conduct among their peers!

🧑‍🏫 Group Learning

Project the slides onto a screen and work through them as a class by having students record their answers in their notebooks or mini whiteboards.
