Westphal, an independent gifted education consultant and former teacher, explains how to create a student-centered learning environment based on choice. She provides eight menus based on mathematical concepts students can use to develop products, and which teachers can then assess to see what the student has learned. Topics include numbers and number sense, operations, geometry, and measurement. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
"Differentiating Instruction With Menus for the Inclusive Classroom: Math" for grades K-2 offers teachers who have multiple ability levels in one classroom everything they need to create a student-centered learning environment based on appropriate choice for everyone. The book provides numerous types of leveled menus that young students can use to select exciting products to demonstrate learning. The attractive reproducible menus in the book address topics such as geometry, operations, number sense, and measurement. Menus with similar formats but geared toward varying ability levels allow teachers to differentiate easily. Using the creative and challenging choices found in Three-Shape menus, Tic-Tac-Toe menus, Target-Based List menus, and more, students will look forward to sharing their newfound knowledge throughout the year. Also included are specific guidelines for products, rubrics for assessing student products, and teacher introduction pages for each menu.
