How to Differentiate

Printable activities like the Christmas tree tally marks number match are perfect to use with your small groups in the classroom.

I like to introduce our small group activities during circle time, so that everyone has an idea of what to expect as they come to the table.

The learning level of the group depends on how each group will play this activity. Some groups may play on their own with a teacher sitting there for reinforcement when needed. Other groups will work together while figuring out the number on the card and then finding the matching number on the recording sheet.

Some groups will be called with just one or two children in them. This allows the teacher at the table and the student to work together and focus on individual skills that have not been mastered yet.

The best part of this game is that when the kids are done the recording sheet can go home! This gives parents an idea of what their child learned at school that day!
