One-Click Differentiation
Three versions of the same resource. One click.
Differentiation is the hardest part of teaching a class with mixed needs. LoomLesson generates three complete versions of the same resource in one request: below, on, and above grade level. Same core topic, adjusted vocabulary, scaffolding, and Bloom's level across all three.
1/4 + 1/4 = ?
Hint: the bottoms are the same. Just add the tops.
3/8 + 2/8 = ?
Add the numerators. Simplify if you can.
A recipe calls for 2/3 cup of flour. You double the recipe and then add another 1/3 cup. How much flour do you use total?

What actually changes
Three dimensions of difficulty
Each level adjusts three things at once so the experience is right for the student, not just a watered-down copy.
Below grade
- • Simpler vocabulary (tier 1 words)
- • Smaller numbers, shorter sentences
- • Explicit scaffolds and hints
- • Visual or graphic supports described
- • Fewer problems (focus over volume)
On grade
- • Grade-level vocabulary and complexity
- • Standard problem count
- • Normal scaffolding cues
- • Aligned to standards you provide
- • The default experience
Above grade
- • Higher Bloom's levels (Analyze, Create)
- • Multi-step problems
- • Open-ended application tasks
- • Real-world and cross-curricular prompts
- • Less scaffolding, more independence
A real classroom
Mrs. Alvarez's 4th grade
Mrs. Alvarez has 24 kids in her 4th grade class. Three read at a 2nd-grade level. Five are labeled gifted and finish anything she hands them in 10 minutes. The rest are on grade.
For years, that meant writing three worksheets every time she wanted to teach fractions: one modified, one standard, one enrichment. That's an hour of extra planning per lesson, on top of everything else.
With LoomLesson
Mrs. Alvarez generates the fractions worksheet once, toggles Differentiate on, and gets all three versions. She prints them on three colors of paper (amber for Below, white for On, blue for Above) and hands them out. Total extra time: ~0.
Differentiation used to be the most aspirational word in teaching. Something everyone agreed was important and almost nobody had time to actually do. LoomLesson made the time cost go to zero.
