ONM1 Task 3: Differentiating Content, Process, and Product
D187 - Differentiated Instruction
Western Governors University
Master of Science, Curriculum and Instruction
Matt Neustadt
ID 001338992
Mentor: Jenna Price
April 3
Introduction
My current teaching practice is in a suburban middle school setting. My position is teaching
direct instruction in a variety of subject areas to students with emotional or behavioral
disabilities. The numbers of students within my classroom fluctuate with an average of ten
students. The students within the classroom come from a variety of different socioeconomic
classes, cultural backgrounds, and different educational experiences. The focus of this paper is
to modify the content, process, or the product of a specific class lesson in order to meet
individual students’ needs or differences.
Differentiated Lesson Plan
Subject: Math Grade Level: 7th
Standards and Learning Objectives
Standard: “CCSS.Math.Content.7.EE.A.1: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add,
subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients (CCSS, 2022).
Learning Objectives/Goals: Students will understand and apply properties of operations to
generate equivalent expressions, specifically focusing on the associative, commutative, and
distributive properties.

Materials
1. Whiteboard or chalkboard
2. Lesson notes/guided note packets for students
3. Worksheets for each station (leveled for the different groups of students)
4. Exit tickets (leveled for the different groups of students)
5. Computers or tablets for technology station
6. Manipulatives for hands-on station (e.g., algebra tiles) 7. Timer or stopwatch
Vocabulary Terms
Associative property: Changing the grouping of terms or factors does not change the
sum or product (e.g., a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c).
Commutative property: Changing the order of addends or factors does not change the sum
or product (e.g., a + b = b + a).
Distributive property: Multiplying a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend
by the number and then adding the products (e.g., a(b + c) = ab + ac).
Math Stations
1. Meet with Teacher
2. At Your Desk
3. Technology
4. Hands-On
