Using Differentiated Instruction in Teacher Education
Butler, Melanie; Van Lowe, Kelly
International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, Nov 2010
The article discusses using differentiated instruction in mathematics education for pre-service teachers, including background information and details on a differentiated unit on fractions and integers. In addition, a study was conducted on this lesson and results are included which suggest that students who received the differentiated lesson did better than those students who received a more typical lesson. Survey results, however, show that not all students were satisfied with the differentiating. (Contains 3 tables.)
