*This tool is for elementary teachers to use for math instruction.
*This is an online website platform for differentiating math instruction.
*I use freckle.com to assign math tasks to my students after a concept has been taught. It is differentiated through grade level and standards. For instance, I would assign a lower level task to a student who is struggling, or a higher level task to a student that is advanced...both on the same concept that was taught.
