Assignment for J-M

This assignment was a differentiated assignment for a student from Burundi, who speaks French.  He is probably WIDA level 2 or 3, and his previous math education is probably to about the 5th grade level. 
The instructions were written in both English and in French.  He didn't seem to understand the written French, and looked to the English writing instead.  From that, I figured that he is not literate in his L1.  Besides the accommodation of writing instructions in both languages, I changed the level of the math.  This assignment is about what I would expect a 7th grader to be able to do.
This assignment allowed me to diagnose a lot about what J-M was able to do, in math, in French, and in English.
