Using Differentiated Instruction in the mathematics classroom will improve the learning of mathematics for all types of learners. It will also help students improve their scores on all types of testing situations.

As a teacher of mathematics, using Differentiated Instruction will make the learning and teaching of mathematics fun for you and your students. Even classroom management becomes more manageable in a classroom that uses Differentiated Instruction.

This is a two-day workshop designed to get you to think about Differentiated Instruction and how to begin to implement it in your classroom. During the two days, we will examine some of the following items:

• Reflection in the Classroom-Teacher and Students
• Teaching Students How to Think, Compare and Contrast
• Use of Technology for the Differentiated Classroom
• Constructivism and Cooperative Learning-How They Are Connected
• Assigning Homework
• Use of Distributed Practice
• Power of Mathematical Vocabulary for Students
• Understanding Learning Styles for Teacher and Students
• Mapping Lessons to the Standards
• Understanding How the Brain Learns

Audience: Math Teachers, Grades 6-12
