Flipped Learning to Differentiate 

12/4/2015

 
Submitted by Corrine Dalfonzo
1st Grade Teacher, 
Chase Elementary
In my first grade classroom, I have been working hard to meet the needs of all my learners.  For our current math unit, first grade students are working on addition and subtraction.  I have a small group of students who have exceeded the first grade math standards for this unit, so I looked at the second grade standards and found some ways to enrich their learning. By comparing the standards for both first and second, I am able to see where my students who already mastered the first grade standards need to be for next year.  These students watch a video teaching them the standards for second grade while I teach the rest of the first graders the standards for their unit in a whole group setting.  After the whole group lesson we move to small group rotations.  The group that watched the video meets with me for a short mini lesson and practice with the second grade standards.  Following the mini lesson they complete appropriate lessons on Study Ladder.  The students are challenged and engaged and they are not sitting through whole group instruction for skills they have already mastered.
