Differentiating Instruction
With Menus offers teachers everything they need to create a
student-centered learning environment based on choice. Addressing the four
main subject areas (language arts, math, science, and social studies) and
the major concepts taught within these areas, these books provide a number
of different types of menus that elementary-aged students can use to
select exciting products that they will develop so teachers can assess
what has been learned—instead of using a traditional worksheet format.
Each book contains attractive reproducible menus, each based on the levels
of Bloom's revised taxonomy, for students to use to guide them in making
decisions as to which products they will develop after studying a major
concept or unit. Using creative and challenging choices found in Tic-Tac-Toe
Menus, List Menus, 2-5-8 Menus, Baseball Menus, and Game Show Menus,
students will look forward to sharing their newfound knowledge throughout
the year. Also included are specific guidelines for products, rubrics for
assessing student products, and teacher introduction pages for each menu.
This book includes menus that teach students about whole numbers and
operations, fractions, probability and statistics, geometry, measurement,
and problem-solving.
