Formative Assessment (ongoing, both lessons): Circulate at the start of every activity. Known-struggling students checked first, others spot-checked.

Differentiation

Need	Response
Shy/anxious students	May point to the picture or have a teammate say the answer aloud; the student still selects or points to their own answer.
High need for stimulation	Structural: fast pace, color-coded teams, visible point progression, multimodal engagement (visual, audio, movement, peer talk).
Visual impairment	Assigned seating closer to the TV screen.
Lower-proficiency students	Checked first during circulation, given brief one-on-one reteaching with visuals and gestures.
Stronger students	May model an answer or help a partner point to the correct picture.
Keep-you-on-your-toes	A wrong or incomplete answer opens a quiet-hand steal for another team.
