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.
