Abstract

This capstone project reports the differentiated instructional strategies and assessment methods implemented throughout a math unit in a third-grade classroom. The capstone will report the effectiveness of two instructional strategies and three assessment methods that were integrated into a math unit that focused on students’ understanding of multiplication and division. The math unit had 10 lessons taught over two weeks between the pre-test and the final checkpoint. Based on student data, students’ understanding, and performance increased throughout this unit by using a variety of differentiated instructional strategies and assessment methods. In this capstone, I will outline the instructional strategies and assessment methods utilized and their impact on student learning. I collected and analyzed the pre-and post-assessment data, concluding that cooperative learning, manipulatives, continuous observation, written response, and technology are effective instructional strategies and assessment methods to increase student learning.
