This article is beneficial to help keep your focus on what the function of the lesson plan is. Additionally, the 10th step, differentiated instruction specifically touched on strategies to include and challenge students of different abilities. ]]> 2018-06-19 17:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267836972 Cooperative Learning for Math helfr1kj https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267842551 This article was a perfect introduction into cooperative learning learning for math and included tactics to include all types of students (assisting with goal #1). The article discusses the benefits of cooperative learning, the components, and examples. Overall, it did an outstanding job helping me reach my goal by understanding cooperative learning better, and finding specific strategies.]]> 2018-06-19 18:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267842551 Math Learning Activity helfr1kj https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267847265 This video gives an example of cooperative learning in a math lesson in an actual elementary classroom. Being able to see cooperative learning in actions helps show that there are so many different ways to implement it in a classroom. ]]> 2018-06-19 19:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267847265 Reaching Gifted Students helfr1kj https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267847769 This video highlights practical tactics on how to include gifted students in the classroom to include and challenge them in the existing curriculum.]]> 2018-06-19 19:28:50 UTC https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267847769 helfr1kj https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267876935 2018-06-20 01:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267876935 Resource for Differentiated Instruction helfr1kj https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267881053 The website attached, Bureau for Education and Research, has links to differentiated instruction strategies for different grade levels, as well as how to include gifted students.

Co-op
This strategy is focused on students teaching their peers. For this strategy each student studies a specific topic and then students take turns, in their groups, teaching their topic to their peers.
Example:
Students each taking a section of a chapter and teaching their section to their peers.
2. Group Problem-Based Learning
This is a strategy I have had a lot of experience with throughout my math classes at CMU. This strategy is focused on inductive learning and students working together to explore and discover the topic.
Example: 
Students, in groups, working together to discover the Triangle Inequality Theorem.]]> 2018-06-20 04:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267896521 Strategies to Include all Students in my Lessons helfr1kj https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267896575 1. Cooperative Learning
Having student work together can help gifted students lift up their peers and keep them involved by assisting other students and collaborating with them.
Example: Problem-Based Learning
Gifted students may be faster at the exploration and can help their peers with their exploration.
2. Audio Recordings
Audio recordings can help the lesson appeal gifted and struggling students. By giving the student a way to gain information at their own pace, they can learn the information in a way the is more suitable for them.
Example:
A gifted student could return an audio recording with more complex examples than their peers. ]]> 2018-06-20 04:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/helfr1kj/EDU325/wish/267896575
