Differentiation in Practice Units

The two units that I was interested in were Unit 3:We're all in it together and Unit 4: The World of Geometry. I am amazed at the range of strategies that are used in each unit. I am certain it will be a while before I could put together a unit that resembles any of these, if ever! WOW! I like how exit cards are used throughout the units to determine whether or not students are learning what is being taught. It makes it possible to have reteach groups if needed before the whole unit is completed. Again, what a great resource this book is!

I agree! Do you think you would ever use any of these units as a "template" for creating your own unit... "plugging in your own content" and adjusting activities to meet your own students' needs? I'm thinking that if any of us were to do that once or twice, it would become second nature to plan units this way, always!
