The task can be as simple as solving a quiz or as complex as writing a story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such activities, students of different learning abilities come together and help maximize each other\u2019s potential. It nurtures shouldering the responsibility to<strong> <\/strong>contribute to successfully finishing the task. It also encourages students to support one another and pitch in wherever required to achieve the end goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consider this:<\/strong> Split your class into small groups and give them a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/kids-science-experiments-to-make-learning-engaging\/\">science experiment<\/a>, like creating a volcano with baking soda and vinegar.

While one group may read and discuss their text independently, the teacher might choose to work with the second group to help them read. The two groups may also receive differentiated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/best-assessment-tools-for-teachers\/\">assessment tools<\/a> such as worksheets of varying complexity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps address diversity in learning experiences and cater to all the students in an equally engaging way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consider this: <\/strong>In a reading lesson, give advanced readers a chapter book while struggling readers work on a simpler text.
