Differentiated learning connects with all students and provides a number of opportunities to understanding the material. Without individualized instruction, many students become lost in the material presented because it is not tailored to the individualized need of the student (Gaytan, 2010). Lack of individualized education can be particularly detrimental to the subject of math, because each component and element builds on another (Speijer, Peirce, & Doherty, 2016). In 2016, Speijer, Peirce, and Doherty pointed out if the foundation of the first component is absent, then the subsequent components will go lacking as well thus causing a disastrous ripple effect that has no ending in sight. Moorehead and Grillo (2016) explains differentiated learning enables students the ability to grasp concepts in an approach that is best understood using their capabilities. Knowledge constructs continuous confidence that will enable the building of the students skill set (Moorehead & Grillo, 2016).

It allows teachers to broaden their professional horizons while intensifying student achievement growth. Collaboration between educators allows for positive communication to transpire, generating uncommon ideas to mutual complications.

Schools are required to provide access to the general curriculum by giving students with disabilities the opportunity to achieve the same standards as all other students. IDEA stresses the importance of participation of students with disabilities in the general curriculum, thus affording students with a disability the opportunity the same advances as their non-disabled peers. Shady (2015) points out that inclusion demonstrates the notion and perception of fairness and justice, while it infers that people’s difference should be celebrated and
