lesser able students can concentrate on grasping the essentials.

Collaborative learning can be a useful differentiation tool. Small mixed
ability groups allow achievers to take advantage of peer support whilst
higher achievers advance their thinking as they peer model. Grouping also
allows roles to be allocated that cater to each memebes skill set and
learning needs.

multiple materials.

used to attain a single learning outcome.

extension activities where they are challenged with activities that develop
a more rounded understanding of subject matter
