Every elementary classroom includes learners with diverse strengths, experiences, and instructional needs. Effective differentiation is not about creating multiple lesson plans—it is about making intentional instructional decisions that ensure every student has meaningful access to grade-level mathematics.
In this interactive session, participants will explore practical, research-based strategies for differentiating mathematics instruction while maintaining high expectations for all learners. Teachers will examine ways to differentiate through tasks, questioning, grouping, scaffolds, and mathematical discourse without lowering the cognitive demand of the mathematics. Participants will also learn how to use formative assessment to make real-time instructional decisions, support productive struggle, and create learning experiences that help every student grow as a mathematician.
Participants will leave with ready-to-use strategies, planning tools, and instructional routines that can be immediately implemented in their classrooms to promote equitable and engaging mathematics instruction.
