Built-in differentiation: To decrease difficulty, give students fewer mats (2-3 emotions at a time). To increase difficulty, give them all 6 mats to sort simultaneously.
To increase or decrease difficulty for students, increase or decrease the number of mats (or emotions) that you give them to sort at once.
