These are differentiated spelling tests for one of my forth grade students during student teaching. Traditionally this would be done as a pen and paper approach and the words would be read aloud a few times and he would write out how the word is spelled. This approach allows him to play an audio as many times as he pleases, directions he can read over, and options to pick from. This approach allows the students to still be tested on the same knowledge as his peers but gives him a better chance to be successful with his learning disability.
This is a differentiated work sheet for three sixth graders in a resource room setting. The sheet to the right gives the problems, answer choices, and riddle to solve. One way to differentiate this worksheets that my cooperating teacher sometimes does is she gives them the answer to the riddle. This makes it is easier for the kids to know if there answers are correct or not and then try to problem solve. To the left my teacher drew the 3D shapes again on the loose leaf paper for the kids and wrote the equation for volume for each problem. The other students just had loose leaf paper and had to redraw and remember the equation themselves.
