Plans for Differentiated Instruction/Accommodations

Special Education Students
English Language Learners
Other:
Calculators will be provided for those who are listed for accommodations.
All ELLs are provided Spanish to English dictionaries and the teacher or peer will
provide a translation as needed during independent practice.

Potential Challenges/Plan B
If the students fail to cooperate in a well behaved and respectful manner, they will have to work on the area
problems alone, inside their notebooks at their assigned desk.

Assessment
The students will complete a QUIZZIZ to display how well they have mastered the content.
