Differentiation does not always require a different page. Changing the amount of information shown, the response method or the level of adult prompting can make the same activity accessible to several learners.

01

Reduce visual load

Cover unused sections, enlarge the page or complete one row at a time. This supports attention without changing the learning goal.

02

Offer another response mode

Allow pointing, matching movable cards or answering aloud before requiring writing. Motor difficulty should not hide what a child understands.

03

Deepen the reasoning

For added challenge, ask for an explanation, a second solution, a created example or a connection to everyday life rather than simply adding more items.
