Description

How I’d differentiate a scripted math lesson Math Lesson - without doing more work: Eureka Math is a strong curriculum—but not every lesson is a perfect fit for your students. 

In this episode, I walk through exactly how I’d differentiate a 1st grade Eureka Math lesson (Module 1, Lesson 30) without adding more to your plate. 

You’ll hear how I’d:

* Preteach key skills before the lesson
* Simplify whole group instruction (without lowering expectations)
* Choose which problems to focus on
* Add hands-on practice where it actually helps
* Use independent work systems to support and monitor student progress

If you’re teaching Eureka—or any scripted program—this episode will help you make it work for your students without doing *more* work.
