Differentiated instruction

The best example of differentiated instruction that I have seen working is the way Wednesday winners is done at Obee. Various types of intruction are used to teach and reteach and review various concepts in the math standards: Promethan boards,lots of manipulatives, rulers, calculators, laptops, white boards, math tiles, along with techniques of small group instruction and tutoring. I have a group of boys, high in math, from fifth grade. They are making keynotes to Voicethreads on some advanced math topics. Perfect for them to be challenged and look at each concept step by step. These Voicethreads will be shared with other students. The topics are estimating fractions, mixed numbers, variables, and ordered pairs.
