History in Mathematics Education
Differentiated instruction is an educational philosophy and the current driving force behind modern education. Differentiated methods take into account the various learning styles and needs of students, by employing various methods of instruction to generate interest, promote learning, and improve assessment of student progress, as opposed to the method of direct instruction, which treats all students as equal. This research presentation attempts to answer the question of whether it is useful and viable to incorporate the history of mathematics in mathematics classrooms and curricula as a method of differentiating mathematics instruction.
