Abstract

We report on questionnaire data gathered from teacher participants (n = 100) following their participation in the project, Exploring Mathematical Sequences of Connected, Cumulative and Challenging Tasks. Teachers shared their views about the effectiveness of various instructional approaches to support differentiation in mathematics, including those illuminated through the project, and a description of a lesson involving effective differentiation.
