  Case: Cluster Math
I am currently teaching a cluster math class, which means that I have very low students and advanced math students all in the same class. I provide instruction the same way for all students, but then about half of my class is ready to move on and the other half needs remediation to be successful. What is the best way to use my time in order to challenge advanced students and remediate struggling students in the same class period?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a very tricky situation. I would try delivering the lecture to all the class in way all students understand the main idea. Then I would divide students in groups according to their skills and give them work. While the advanced and medium students work you can work closely with the struggling ones and build up the skills they need to move forward. If necessary, I would accommodate the assessments as well.
