Ask Catlin — Adapting Four Corners, Differentiating Without Lowering Rigor, and Chunking Math Instruction
Episode 198
Tuesday, 10 November, 2026
How do you make an instructional strategy work when your classroom space, class size, or pacing guide presents a challenge? In this Ask Catlin episode, I share practical adaptations for Four Corners in crowded classrooms and options for using station rotation with very small classes. I explore how to differentiate support while maintaining the cognitive demand of a standards-aligned learning goal. Then I respond to a listener’s question about using chunk-pause-process in secondary math when some students need more time and the class needs to move forward. Together, these recommendations help teachers build understanding, make student thinking visible, and create time for targeted support.
