Looking for ways to differentiate learning in math? It can be hard to challenge students with higher order thinking questions on the spot when your attention is pulled towards students who are struggling with the concept! I have found myself in this position before, so I started brainstorming ways I can push my students to the highly proficient level while still supporting students who need extra help. 

Introducing Higher Order Thinking Question Cards! Each standard has 6 challenge questions (some with Bloom’s HOT question stems) that pushes students to apply their learning in different ways. Students are asked to justify their thinking with words, equations, and models. These cards can be used in stations, in partner pairs, or independently at their seats when they have extra time. 

This resource includes: 

• 6 Challenge Cards for Each Standard Listed Here:
  • NFA.01 Equivalent Fractions
  • NFA.02 Comparing Fractions 
  • NFB.03 Adding and Subtracting Mixed Numbers/ Decomposing Fractions
  • NFB.04 Multiplying Whole Numbers and a Fraction 
  • NFC.05 Adding Tenths and Hundredths
  • NFC.06 Decimal Notation
  • NFC.07 Comparing Decimals

• Total of 42 Challenge Question Cards

You will love how easy it is to challenge students to a highly proficient level in math!
