2. www.tie.net As a math coach for my district, I have used the Differentiating Math Instruction a great deal. I work with grade levels K-8, and found many useful ideas to share with my teachers, in helping them prepare instruction for all levels of students. It not only has impacted my teaching and thinking, but also those of others I coach. Joni Sasse District Math Coach Shannon Co. School District

3. www.tie.net Differentiated instruction is not creating 20 different lessons for 20 students. It is actually small, simple tactics that can be immediately applied in every classroom. Lindsey Aberle 6th Grade Special Educator Lead-Deadwood Middle School

4. www.tie.net Differentiating Math Instruction has given me a new lease on math interventions. I am the title teacher at a small school and have used several of the strategies presented in the book. It was also nice to reaffirm some of my teaching strategies, as the book also gives some of the research behind the techniques. I also do weekly data meetings in which I share differentiated instructional techniques with the staff. The book has something for everyone, and our district is going to do a book study on it next year. Jennifer McMillin Title Teacher Oelrichs School 23-3

5. www.tie.net “Teaching Tactics” – Instructional ideas in math that involve more complex instructional procedures. These strategies represent the most effective way to differentiate within the math class and thereby meet the needs of all the students.

6. www.tie.net “Ideas From Teachers” – Offers real-world differentiated instructional applications that teachers have suggested over recent years.

7. www.tie.net “Web Site Reviews” – These are available to enhance your instructional efforts in math. The links provided will help you in your move toward a more differentiated math class.

Intrapersonal: One’s sense of self, including awareness of one’s self and satisfaction with one’s self overall Naturalistic: One’s ability to perceive relationships in the natural environment, to perceive categorical distinctions and various classifications, as well as the relationships between the classifications

11. www.tie.net Take Multiple Intelligences Survey – http://surfaquarium.com/MI/inventory.htm http://surfaquarium.com/MI/inventory.htm Group with the people who share the most dominant intelligence as you. In small groups discuss what you do in your classroom to reach students with this particular intelligence. Be ready to share out in large group.

12. www.tie.net Spatial Intelligence: Visual aids such as manipulatives or representations of concepts Interpersonal Intelligence: Group work by turning to a partner and explain a particular concept Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence: Movement along a number line or musical fraction squares

14. www.tie.net Less is more Present Information at 3 levels – Concrete – Pictorial or representational – Abstract Teach math facts to a high level of automaticity BUT with understanding.

15. www.tie.net Guess which students have the concept Assess those several students with one or two quick questions Tear Out of the class a small instructional group of those who will perform an alternative instructional activity

16. www.tie.net Student is presented a flash card Student copies the equation while saying it aloud Student covers the problem and then writes the equation from memory Student compares the two written equations

17. www.tie.net Level 1: Children use objects as a model for addition or subtraction Level 2: Children use the “count on” method by counting onto the addend, and in using this method do not need concrete objects in order to solve the problem. Level 3: Children “chunk” (mentally regroup the numbers) the information together to get a total.
