Differentiation - altering assignments, lessons and activities to accommodate different levels of ability or inclination (e.g., providing kinesthetic activities for those who learn best by being physically active; interpersonal assignments for those who work well with and thrive on working with others, etc.)

__Technology - Differentiated Math Lesson__
 * Lesson 4.3 Equal Shares and Equal Groups**

__Objective__: Students will review division as **equal sharing** and **equal grouping**. __Hook:__ __Lesson:__ 1. We will do a math message follow-up and discuss as a class how individual partners divided their skittles so each got an equal amount. I will show partitive addition method if no on mentions it, since division is a skill they haven't had a lot of practice with and do not feel comfortable with.
 * 1.** The students will use math slates to do a mental math and reflexes warm-up. We will share with the class students' strategies for solving a number story problem. Students may come up to the board and draw how they solved the problem.
 * 1.** The students will be given a math message and they will have to use skittles to solve the division problem!

2. The students will be given different number stories which require them to divide their skittles. We will share strategies and I will draw a picture and record their solutions on the board.

3. We will begin solving number stories for equal grouping. I will pose problems and they must solve it with base-10 blocks, which I will illustrate on the overhead.I will tell them that we are thinking of this as multiplication, for example 5 X 6 = 30. I will then show how this can be manipulated for division, for example 30 / 5 = 6

4. We will complete a math journal page on solving division number stories using counters and pictures. Students will work together and we will share as a class different answers and/ or methods.

Differentiation: Nearly all preferred learning styles and multiple intelligences will be served in this lesson. 1. Intrapersonal - working alone to solve mental math warm-up. 2. Interpersonal - working with partners to solve number stories together. 3. Kinesthetic/ Tactile - using skittles and counters as representative for numbers in number stories. 4. Logical/ Spatial - since it is math, we will be learning about logical concepts and reasoning, with some critical thinking. 5. Auditory - students will have the math lesson and equations given verbally. 6. Visual - students will have the math lesson and equations represented on the board in letters, numbers, and pictures.
