ABSTRACT

Mathematics can be perceived as difficult by many students due to its conceptual and procedural concepts. Making these abstract concepts more concrete while assisting students to see the practical application of mathematics captures the essence of UDL: developing lifelong, independent learners. The application of UDL principles in mathematics instruction has the potential to increase active engagement of students in their own learning, while helping them develop a greater interest in mathematics. This chapter provides teachers with practical, evidence-based strategies for utilizing the UDL framework to teach mathematics to diverse learners in primary and secondary classrooms without the use of technology. The strategies presented in this chapter were specifically chosen for their ease in implementation when resources are few.
