Blocks can be stacked vertically. They can also be stacked horizontally. So can bar graphs. Today we continued to develop survey questions, collect data in the form of a bar graph, and write down conclusions drawn from the data, but instead of working vertically, we turned our graphs sideways.
Where's the differentiation here? I've been a bit concerned about that all this past week. Today I'm worrying less because I could see all of the kids busily engaged in their work. When a task isn't appropriate, I usually have off-task behavior. When a task is suitable for everyone, everyone stays focused. This is a somewhat open-ended task, which allows students to set their own pace and the writing about conclusions can be done at a number of different levels.
