This would be great independent work for my students while in my small groups/conferencing.
I think creating & enforcing expectations would be harder for teacher than students, as students have probably had more practice doing them than I.
Geometry is my next unit. Students’ prior knowledge isn’t as expansive in this unit as others, so. This might be the perfect time to create a rich choice board

I can imagine doing this in my class where the appetizer acts as the bellringer—work on previous skills that students will need for today’s lesson or an engaging opener to get them thinking about the main course.

Main course could have choice of various video lessons on a topic that the students can take notes on.

Side dishes could have the different activities to practice the skills/apply the skills/critical thinkers.

The dessert could be an extension to the lesson— maybe how does it relate to other topics or a chance to be creative.

I love this idea of using it for student choice. I can see this working very well for math workshop, especially during rotation time. It would be very helpful for students who struggle with time management.

Students can choose "warm-up" activities to activate prior knowledge/review skills. The main dish could be the main skill review or practice.

Not only would it give students choices on what to do, it will also allow them to choose who they work with.

This is would a great idea to use for fast finishers.

Also, it could help you set up your learning stations during independent work times while teachers pull guided math groups.

Dining menus could be used as review for upcoming tests or even for homework. Students like having a choice and sending a menu home for students to complete as homework will introduce parents to the different activities taking place within the classroom.

I like the differentiation of the different types of dishes. The appetizer could be a quick review of a skill, the main course could be the current content, and a dessert could be a game or something “more fun”.

menus allow students to incorporate the 4cs - critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity. While students are at menus in MS, teachers can work in small groups, 1:1 conference: or take part in a choice. Can be used 2-3 times a week. We use menus in all content areas in MS and our students LOVE it.
