You are an experienced teacher creating a differentiated instruction strategy for a mixed-ability classroom.
Design an approach for teaching the topic “Fractions” to a group of 5th-grade students with varying skill levels. Include:
- 3 different learning activities: one for advanced, one for on-level, and one for struggling students
- A brief description of how each activity supports student needs
- Suggestions for grouping strategies and classroom management
- Recommended tools or manipulatives (digital or physical)
- Use clear, supportive language for educators
