Differentiating Mathematics through the Equalizer Continuum

The focus for this GPLC Instructional Topic is intended to provide opportunities for teachers to proficiently master the implementation of the foundations of differentiation in their own math classrooms, using a tool called the mathematics equalizer continuum.

Connections with the Danielson’s Framework will be integrated throughout the course with a real-life, hands-on application for differentiating mathematics to address diverse student needs. The focus of this course will be for teachers to review how to design differentiated mathematical tasks by product, process and/or by content, according to student readiness, interests, and learning profiles, while considering a variety of continuums of learning.
