If a student is uncomfortable with word problems then they can use just the 5 facet to make it simple and just roll one dice to find the number.
Clearly defined problem and fuzzy problem, we can use matrix to differentiate because the lower student can have clearly defined expectations that they have to use all five component in a word problem, however the student that have a better understanding are able to use the matrix as a brainstorming item and then use it to elaborate on their word problem adding more charters, detail or a more complicated mathematical process. Therefore the stronger student are creating fuzzier problems while the student with
