Why do we use differentiation in the classroom?

WHY DO WE NEED TO DIFFERENTIATE? Differentiation demonstrates a teacher’s knowledge of pupils as individual learners. Differentiation enables pupils to access the learning. Differentiation demonstrates that the learning is matched to the needs, interests & abilities of the different pupils.

What are differentiated teaching strategies?

Differentiated teaching occurs when a teacher plans a lesson that adjusts either the content being discussed, the process used to learn or the product expected from students to ensure that learners at different starting points can receive the instruction they need to grow and succeed.

What do we use differentiation for?

Differentiation allows us to find rates of change. For example, it allows us to find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time (which is acceleration). It also allows us to find the rate of change of x with respect to y, which on a graph of y against x is the gradient of the curve.
