"At the most basic level, differentiating instruction means “shaking up” what goes on in the classroom, so that students have multiple options for taking in information, making sense of ideas, and expressing what they learn."
- Carol Ann Tomlinson
Differentiated instruction refers to a teaching approach that recognizes and accommodates the diverse learning needs, interests, and readiness levels of students in a classroom.
Elementary - Grade K - Math
The Mystery Bag game is a hands-on activity where students count a set of objects in a bag and record the total to label the quantity. The teacher differentiated the activity by placing numbers 1-10 in some bags and 10-20 in others. This allowed the teacher to give each student a number that they could be successful with.
