My favourite ones on here are the Google Doc and the Last One Talking methods. Great list.

Absolutely! I would expand this by saying, use ADST quick challenges the first week so you can observe and assess strengths and areas of development for a class, while also having fun. Debriefing these activities helps create essential agreements as a class.

Have students who need an extra challenge in math class? Find a set of 21st century pattern blocks and have them play. Lots of ideas on Dan Finkel's site mathforlove.com/games/centur...

Always fun puzzles from @mathequalslove.bsky.social . If you have students in your elementary intermediate classes who need extra challenges available, print up some of her puzzles and have them in a box with whiteboard markers and a plastic wipe off folder. Amazon has the folders.

This is an older article on Cult of Pedagogy, but it still rings true and makes so much difference in how you experience a school or school year.

I am looking into a question: How have teachers differentiated early primary, whole-class UFLI science-of-reading-based programs (with explicit lessons on letters) when they have gifted students who already read/write above grade level, or who intuitively have picked up reading skills?
