In doing so, you will build students math understandings AND confidence.
Post these images digitally or print and post on the board. Have students consider which image/number doesn't belong and provide reasoning why.

These "Which Doesn't Belong" images foster deep and meaningful discussions between students that level the playing field for all! All students can contribute to these activities in some way, shape, or form. Keep these discussions and centres open-ended, so that all answers are celebrated. In doing so, you will build students math understandings AND confidence.
These Which Doesn't Belong activities can be used in two ways:
1. Whole-Group Discussions
Post a large format page digitally or print it and post it on the board. Have students consider which image/number doesn't belong and provide reasoning why.
This activity fosters students:
-Math knowledge
-Math confidence
-Reasoning skills
-Communication skills
-Critical thinking
2. Individual or Small-Group Use
Print out the individual use versions of these activities and have students complete them as handouts or in math centres. They could do this individually or in small groups! The "written format" versions provide space for students to write which images they believe doesn't belong and why.
How to differentiate with this product:
This product is easily differentiated for your convenience! Each topic of math that is included within this product starts with the fundamental concepts of math and become slightly more challenging as the activities progress. If your students are struggling with a concept I suggest you select the first activities within that area of math, or if your students are advanced, challenge them by skipping ahead.
Large Group Format (PDF AND GOOGLE SLIDES):
•The large group format of this product can be differentiated further if you have small-group discussions with students that are of like-ability. By facilitating the discussions you can ensure that the students are noticing and discussing the important concepts. This is also a great practice because it will maintain the math confidence of your struggling students. Students will be able to contribute to the best of their abilities while not having to worry that students of other levels will take over the discussion.
Individual/Math Center Format:
•The individual/math center format of this product can be differentiated so that your non-writers can still participate. One way you can do this is by grouping your non-writers with responsible and caring peers who will write responses that all group members contribute. You can even instruct this student to attribute names to each response so that you can informally assess each students’ understandings.
•Another great way to differentiate this product, which students LOVE, is by having them respond verbally using a recording device. This is great for non-writers, students who require more processing time before responding, and students who are anxious to talk in front of their peers. The very best way to do this is by using the FlipGrid app/website. Students LOVE it and can easily record their voices, as well as visuals, to respond to the “which doesn’t belong” prompt.
Please note: this product is suitable for grades 1-4, but it is best that you are selective with which slides you use. Therefore, not all images will necessarily be useful for your grade, but some will be great:)
ENJOY!!
