Circle, Triangle, Square

Circle, Triangle, Square – differentiation methods.  Easy tasks or questions are represented by a Circle.  Harder tasks or questions are represented by a Triangle and even more challenging tasks or questions are represented by a Square.  The more sides a shape has the more difficult the task or question.  Students make their own choices, according to their ability, or can “have a go” working through each challenge.

A colleague at work (@ldufty) has recently been trialling this in the classroom with great success.  She has provided a googledocs PowerPoint. Please check it out.  Your comments would also be appreciated!
