Differentiation Using Multiple Entry Points

Van de Walle (2006) recommends using multiple entry points, so that all students are able to gain access to a given concept. These entry points are based on the five representations, which are considered to be tangible ways of representing knowledge.

  • concrete – materials are used to model a concept
  • contextual – situations to engage student interest
  • pictorial – diagrams represent a problem or record understanding
  • verbal – students talk and write about their learning
  • symbolic – students use symbols to record understanding
