Differentiating Instruction With Menus: Algebra I/II (Grades 9-12) / Edition 1

by Laurie E. Westphal

Overview

Differentiating Instruction With Menus: Algebra I/II offers high school math teachers everything needed to create a student-centered learning environment based on choice. This book uses five different types of menus that students can use to select exciting advanced-level products that they will develop so teachers can assess what has been learned, instead of using a traditional worksheet format. Topics addressed include numbers, algebra basics, exponents, graphs, functions, polynomials, and various equations typically included in the algebra I/II curriculum. Differentiating Instruction With Menus: Algebra I/II contains attractive reproducible menus, each based on the levels of Bloom's revised taxonomy as well as incorporating different learning styles. These menus can be used to guide students in making decisions as to which products they will develop after studying a major concept or unit.
