Differentiation and Tiering

A colored shape code is denoted to help you differentiate concepts:

• Questions with a green circle cover basic ideas and understandings.

• Questions with a blue square cover intermediate ideas and understandings.

• Questions with a black diamond cover advanced ideas and understandings.

Each task card is marked with a "signal strength" to probe lower, mid or higher order thinking:

• Questions with a “low” signal strength assess the ability to remember, recall and understand

• Questions with a “medium” signal strength assess the ability to apply, analyze or explain

• Questions with a “high” signal strength assess the ability to evaluate, judge or interpret

Important Note: Some task card sets do NOT include all levels of differentiation. All task card sets include low, medium and high signal strength questions for each differentiation level included. Refer to the preview for the levels included with this task card set.
