Description:
In this session, we will discuss both content ideas and differentiation strategies that suit the needs of most K-6 students in math. In particular, we will look at:
• What are the MOST IMPORTANT ideas on which to focus to help students build number fluency and flexibility ?
• How do we set up activities suitable for a broad range of students so that all of them have access to building that number fluency and flexibility?
