Thanksgiving Puzzle Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this Thanksgiving Puzzle resource to support your math lessons. 

In addition to individual student work time, use this multiplication game to enhance learning through guided math groups or remote learning assignments. 

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Help students who need help understanding the concepts by using manipulatives as they solve the problems. Students can also refer to a number line or a multiplication chart.  Additionally, provide access to previous assignments, posters and anchor charts for students to recall past lessons. 

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Challenge fast finishers who already understand the concept to record each number on a separate sheet of paper and draw a set of objects to match each equation.
