Differentiating in Maths December ‘14

Rainbow Booklets I have been working on activities to visibly differentiate in my Year 12 work. My ‘rainbow booklets’ have 5 or 6 exam questions within them. Green – easy, scaffolded question (usually with steps written out like a writing frame) Blue – easy, steps written out but with less help given Yellow – medium, no support given (bigger mark question) Lilac – medium, applying or justifying question Pink – harder, independent extension, linking to next topic or asking them to apply their knowledge contextually I ask students to select their own starting point but everyone has to get to the yellow question. Stronger students are challenged to start with blue/yellow and work up to pink, weaker students should aim to end with the yellow question. I usually end with looking at the mark scheme and asking students to show with their fingers how many marks they got on specific questions.

Rainbow Booklets Sometimes it is a little risky giving the students the choice of starting point. Using the colours has made it easy for me to see who is working too high or too low and I can then have a conversation with the student as I circulate about challenge and support and where I feel they should be working.

PRET Home Learning This is something that a number of us have used across the faculty. Practice, Recall, Extend and Think All tasks include a literacy task, a memory task, a skills practice and a most include a stretch task. I have used them throughout the school from Year 7 to 12. It is great for independent research for the next lesson and for extending stronger students.
