This is one of the best courses I’ve taken for differentiation in math. The presenter gives many examples of ways to differentiate, not only for GT students, but for all students.

This was very informational.
Ronald – ALAMO HEIGHTS ISD (verified owner) –
Generic information on differentiation, did not get as many specific strategies as I was expecting.

I really loved this course. I found it engaging and useful to take by and use right away in my classroom.
Stacy – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –
I liked the ideas she offered at the end of using tic tac toe, top 5, and would you rather. All of these I feel like are things I can easily implement in my classroom to provide differentiation.
