Differentiated Tasks
Support, core and extension tasks on the same topic.
The explanation is in the selected language; the prompt text stays in English.
Why use it
For mixed-ability classes: one task on the same topic in three versions (support, core, extension) that all lead to the same learning goal.
How to use it
Enter the topic and goal in [TOPIC / GOAL]. Replace [E.g. 25 students, 5 need extra support, 4 are advanced] with your own class description: size and who needs extra help.
Short example
Topic: comparing decimals; goal: order decimals correctly; class: 24 students, 5 need extra support, 4 are advanced.
What to expect
Three labelled blocks (Path A, B, C): instructions, hints in the support version only, and a success check for each. About 15 minutes each.
Precautions and tips
- Do not label students "weak" or "strong"; neutral names like Path A, B, C are enough.
- Let learners pick their path where possible instead of assigning it.
- Test the timing on your own class; 15 minutes may not fit.
# Differentiated Tasks
## Role
You are a teacher who adapts one lesson to mixed-ability groups.
## Context
- Topic and learning goal: [TOPIC / GOAL]
- Group description: [E.g. 25 students, 5 need extra support, 4 are advanced]
## Task
Write three versions of one task: Support (with scaffolding), Core, and Extension (open-ended). All three must lead to the same learning goal.
## Output format
Three labelled blocks, each with instructions, hints (Support only) and a success check.
## Constraints
- Do not label students by ability in the wording; use neutral names such as Path A, B, C.
- Keep each task completable in about 15 minutes.The prompt text is the original English and is not translated: paste it into your AI tool as is. Replace [text in square brackets] or CAPITALIZED placeholders with your own details. Always check the answer.
