Some advice I have for differentiation:
Think about things that you might do specifically to help students like using physical proximity for students who have special needs that require that (most often these are behavior issues, but this can take many different forms).
Another method could be to set up peer groupings for either a discussion (might be hard with triangles, but probably not impossible if you can do a good metaphor) or part of the early interaction stages, which let high-performing students and low-performing students interact.
Consider the use of visuals and props as well, since that can be helpful as a differentiation tool.
Also, I swear by the old-school Bloom's Taxonomy. I demand to say "synthesis" because it makes me feel smart!
