Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your math 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.
