Abstract
Not all students learn the same way or at the same speed, making differentiated instruction in the mathematics classroom critical. This curriculum project provides exemplary lessons built around differentiated instruction and real-world examples. All four of the lessons cover the same standard of proportions and ratios, but they all have students working with different real-world examples to cover the content. The first lesson is on discount prices and percent increase and percent decrease; lesson two is on unit price, lesson three is on unit conversions, and lesson four is on direct proportions. time, or baking cookies, proportions are used to solve problems in so many real-world examples. All lessons provide examples of how to teach the content using differentiated instruction. The keys for all student materials are in the appendix.
