Meeting Needs of Diverse Learners:
Students Who Finish Early: Students who finish early on the first worksheet can
start working on the second worksheet. Once they are finished both, students can
help other students who are struggling, or work ahead on some textbook
questions.

Students Who Appear To Be Struggling: Can get clarification from either a peer
or the teacher. If a student is struggling severely go through previous lessons and
concepts in more detail until they are able to fully grasp the concept.


Assessment:
Summative Assessment: Determining if the worksheets were completed correctly.


Conclusion:
Students will be engaged with these worksheets and in return the students will
gain competence and further expand their knowledge.
