Processing Activity
Move around the room to the beat of the music.
When you hear the music stop, turn and talk to the person closest to you about the assigned question.
Question #1: What is differentiation?
Question #2:
What are Tiered activities ?
Question #3What is an assignment that you currently assign your students, that you could possibly tier today?
Flexible Grouping Strategy
Find the Colored Table card that matches the color your name is written in on your tiered activities packet.
Tiered Math Activity
RED200 x 3= a
40 x 30 =a
900 x 90=a
40 x a = 160,000
You will have 60 seconds to solve for a. Select the level you feel most comfortable with.
BLUE
80 x 80 = a
(2 x 10) x 7 = a
4 x 9 x 5 = a
4 x (25 x 19) = a
BLACK700.a =2100
50 (2 x 27) =a
25 (16 x a) =1600
A= (25x25) x (4x12)
