Stage 3 – Learning Plan
DIFFERENTIATION (I-3) There are several ways to individualize instruction for your students
How will I scaffold and/or accelerate learning? For whom? How will I group my students?
SCAFFOLD: Discussion of precision/significant figures supports/re-teaches concepts from Chemistry I and IPC.
Discussion of plane trigonometry supports/extends work in geometry/algebra II/pre-calculus courses
ACCELERATE: There is always plenty of work to do. If you complete the current assignment,
press on with the next packet/funsheet.
GROUP: (pre-teaching or re-teaching) “Check with a neighbor to compare answers. If you disagree, figure out
what the problem is. If you can’t sort it out, ask me.”
Learning Activities: Lecture/note-taking; guided and independent practice of problem-solving skills.
