My students LOVE the Farmers' Market! We visit the Civic Center Farmers' Market for a quarterly field trip, so all students can relate to this shared experience. I created a lesson incorporating a performance task to use our math skills in real-life situations at one of our favorite places!

Responding to students' needs sometimes requires approaches that are as unique as our students! Creative thinking goes a long way towards providing differentiated support in the classroom. Check out the strategy "toolkit" I put together that explores 10 creative approaches for improving mathematical literacy in my classroom. Which is your favorite??
