40. The Easiest and Most Effective Way to Differentiate Maths Lessons


Listen Later

Catering for all your student’s needs when teaching Maths is a daunting job! It can feel like you need a clone (or two) of yourself to make it all happen. In this episode, we dive into one of the most common challenges teachers face: effectively differentiating math lessons to meet the diverse needs of their students. 

The good news is we have the best solution! 

Math groups, also known as math centres or workshops, offer an engaging and flexible approach to personalised learning. We share how we run math groups and 10 reasons why we think you should give them a try in your classroom.

We love Maths groups because:

  • They make differentiation easy
  • They build student confidence
  • Kids love them
  • They are an easy way to integrate technology
  • Increase engagement in maths lessons
  • Students can work collaboratively as problem-solvers
  • You can build mathematical fluency
  • They allow you to create hands-on learning experiences
  • They encourage Independent learners
  • They provide a safe learning space


Whether you're a new teacher looking for effective differentiation strategies or an experienced educator seeking fresh ideas, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you make the most of math groups in your classroom.

If you know someone who would benefit from this episode, please share it. Here at Rainbow Sky, we are all about teachers helping teachers. 


Rainbows ahead,
