When it comes to differentiating math centers, how prepared and confident do you feel? Many teachers are overwhelmed by the thought of it and therefore avoid trying to differentiate instruction. Others feel they don’t have the time or the resources to differentiate. These feelings often come from common misconceptions teachers have about differentiation. In this episode, I clear the air about what differentiation is and what it is not. I also discuss the similarities and differences between differentiating and scaffolding and why they are important.  In addition, I give you simple tips to consider as you plan for your differentiated math centers. By the end of the three-part series, you’ll have actionable tips and strategies to apply to your classroom. Part 1 topics include: What it means to differentiate and scaffold activities Similarities and differences between the two concepts Misconceptions about differentiation Tips for implementing these activities in your math centers You’ll also hear a time-saving tip for those tasks that you only do a few times a year in the Teaching Tip of the Week.
