Product Description
Differentiating Instruction With Menus offers teachers everything they need to create a student-centered learning environment based on choice. Addressing the four main subject areas (language arts, math, science, and social studies) and the major concepts taught within these areas, these books provide a number of different types of menus that elementary-aged students can use to select exciting products that they will develop so teachers can assess what has been learned—instead of using a traditional worksheet format.
Each book contains attractive reproducible menus, each based on the levels of Bloom's revised taxonomy, for students to use to guide them in making decisions as to which products they will develop after studying a major concept or unit. Using creative and challenging choices found in Tic-Tac-Toe Menus, List Menus, 2-5-8 Menus, Baseball Menus, and Game Show Menus, 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.
This book includes menus that teach students about whole numbers and operations, fractions, probability and statistics, geometry, measurement, and problem-solving.

 Great Ideas for Differentiating a classroom March 8, 2009

I received this book two weeks ago and have not yet implemented it into my classroom. I am a team teacher in seventh and eighth grade classrooms for mathematics. The book contains menus in which students can choose the activity/project that demonstrates their comprehension of the math standard.
I like the format of the book. It gave me ideas on how to create my own menus. It will be very helpful in the difficult task of differentiating my classroom.

This doesn't not work well with elementary students. Most get confused and don't know where to start. It does however work decently with middle school students.
