Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this tool
Choice Board Generator — Differentiate With Student Agency
A choice board (also called a learning menu or HyperDoc grid) gives students agency over how they demonstrate learning. EasyClass's AI choice board generator creates ready-to-use 3x3, 3x4, or custom grids filled with differentiated activities aligned to your learning objective — in seconds.
Choice boards are one of the most versatile differentiation tools in a teacher's toolkit. They allow multiple learning modalities (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, written), varying difficulty levels, and student ownership — all while keeping every student working toward the same standard. Research consistently shows choice increases motivation and task completion.
With EasyClass, you describe your topic and grade level, and the AI generates 9 or more activities across Bloom's Taxonomy levels — from remembering and understanding to creating and evaluating. Students choose their path; you ensure the destination.
What EasyClass Choice Boards Include
Bloom's Taxonomy Coverage
Activities span all six Bloom's levels — from recall tasks to creative projects — ensuring cognitive variety and appropriate challenge for every learner.
Multiple Learning Modalities
Visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic activities ensure every student has options that match their strengths and learning style.
Flexible Grid Sizes
3x3 (tic-tac-toe style), 3x4, or custom layouts. Ask for a "must do / choose two" format or free choice — the AI adapts to your structure.
Instant Differentiation
Generate below-grade, on-grade, and above-grade activity sets for the same topic. Full class differentiation without planning three separate lessons.

Choice Boards and Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Choice boards are a core strategy within the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework — a research-backed approach to curriculum design that removes barriers by offering students multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression. When you give students a choice board, you are implementing UDL's "multiple means of action and expression" principle in a concrete, manageable format.
Multiple Means of Engagement
Choice boards increase motivation by letting students select how they engage with content. A student who struggles with written expression may thrive when given the option to create a visual project or record a short explanation. Offering that choice is a UDL accommodation — not a lowering of standards.
Multiple Means of Representation
A well-designed choice board includes activities that present content in different formats — text, visual, hands-on, and digital. This supports students with learning differences, ELL students, and students with IEPs who need content delivered in varied ways.
Multiple Means of Action and Expression
Students demonstrate mastery in different ways. A tic-tac-toe choice board that includes options like "write a paragraph," "create a diagram," and "teach a partner" gives every learner a path to show what they know — regardless of their learning profile.
Tic-Tac-Toe Choice Boards
The tic-tac-toe (3x3 grid) format is the most common choice board structure. Students must complete three activities in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — just like tic-tac-toe. Each cell is a different task targeting the same learning objective. This structure ensures every student engages with the core content while choosing their path through it.
Must-Do / May-Do Boards
Must-do / may-do boards divide activities into required tasks and optional extension activities. All students complete the must-do column. Students who finish early choose from the may-do options. This format works well in mixed-readiness classrooms where pacing differences create idle time for advanced learners.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a choice board in teaching?
A choice board is a menu of learning activities arranged in a grid. Students choose which activities to complete (often in a tic-tac-toe pattern or "must do/choose from" format), giving them agency while ensuring they practice the target skill or concept.
How do I use a choice board for differentiation?
Create activities at different complexity levels. Place the most basic tasks in one area of the grid and more advanced tasks in another. Students self-select based on their readiness, or you assign specific cells to specific students.
What grade levels work with choice boards?
Choice boards work for K–12. For younger students, use visual icons and simpler activity descriptions. For secondary students, include more complex project-based activities and higher-order thinking tasks.
Can I use choice boards with existing rubrics?
Yes — and it's a best practice. Generate a rubric alongside your choice board so students know the quality expectations regardless of which activity they choose. EasyClass's Rubric Generator integrates perfectly with choice board outputs.
How is a choice board different from a HyperDoc?
A choice board focuses on student selection from options. A HyperDoc is a digital document that guides students through an entire learning sequence (often including explore, explain, apply, share). Choice boards are typically one component of a HyperDoc.
Choice Board Generator by Subject — Ready-to-Use Activity Ideas
The best choice boards mix product types (written, visual, oral, kinesthetic) across Bloom's Taxonomy levels (remember, understand, apply, analyze, create). Here are ready-to-use activity sets for each core subject — paste any of these into EasyClass and it will format them into a printable 3x3 board automatically.
