Differentiating Instruction with Menus: Math (Grades K-2)

Differentiating Instruction With Menus: Math for grades K–2 offers teachers everything needed to create a student-centered learning environment based on choice. This book provides several different types of menus that students can use to select exciting products that they will develop so teachers can assess what has been learned—instead of using a traditional worksheet format. Topics addressed include numbers and number sense, operations, geometry, and measurement.

Differentiating Instruction With Menus: Math contains attractive reproducible menus, each based on the levels of Bloom's Revised taxonomy, that students can use as a guide when making decisions about which products they will develop after they study a major concept or unit. Using creative and challenging choices found in Three-Shape menus, Tic-Tac-Toe menus, Meal menus, Give Me Five menus, 2-5-8 menus, and List menus, students will look forward to sharing their newfound knowledge throughout the year. Also included are specific guidelines for products, graphics to help students easily match a product with its criteria, a rubric for assessing student products, and teacher introduction pages for each menu. This is a must-have for any teacher wanting to differentiate for gifted and advanced learners!
