For this blog, I'm asking you to have a "What if?" experience. Think of one of the strategies you've learned about, and a realistic application in, let's say, math, in your specific field experience classroom. (If not math, you choose the subject area... but something you really might be teaching during field!). This does not have to be lengthy... just state the content you're talking about and the strategy you can envision using.

The only that I can picture differentiation math, my topic is multiplication, is by creating a learning menu. I would instruct all the students with the "meat" the same and then let them do the "dessert" on their own level. I think I would do the dessert by letting the students explore the topic in different ways, manipulative, algorithms, problems at their level, maybe problems that they have created themselves. Unfortunately the cooperating teacher I am with right now does not differentiate AT ALL so I have not been able to see any thing in practice.
