Level the Math, Level the Playing Field

Learn to easily differentiate the math problems you give. In this session you will learn to quickly and easily take a math prompt and "level" it to meet your students where they are in their conceptual understanding. We will begin with an open task and then use PLDs (performance level descriptors) to move students forward through concreate, to pictorial, to abstract thinking. Meeting students where they are at in their understanding will make grade level standards accessible for all students. (This session is best for teachers of grades 3rd-12th. Special education teachers too!) Maximum number of participants is 50.
