STRENGTHENING MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION FOR ALL STUDENTS THROUGH DIFFERENTIATED TEACHING STRATEGIES
Keywords:
the differentiated approach,, apt pupils, American schoolAbstract
Brain research confirms what experienced teachers have always known: no two
children are alike; no two children learn in the identical way; an enriched environment for one
student is not necessarily enriched for another; in the classroom we should teach children to think
for themselves.
