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.

Low-Sodium Food Labels Woo, And Confuse, Consumers
