Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

• My experiences as a Mathematics Teacher.
difficulties that I faced.
• Mathematics classroom becoming
increasingly diverse, teaching and learning
strategies that cater
for a variety of
learning profile.
• Every learner is
unique and they
have their
own style of learning things.

Mathematics learning lacks the connection to our daily
life, fun, engaging,
Rethinking of the strategies, learning style, teaching
methods, assessment, curriculum approaches etc.
Differentiation can be defined as a way of teaching in
which teachers proactively modify curriculum, teaching
methods, resources, learning activities, and student
products to address the needs of individual students to
maximize the learning opportunity for each student in
the classroom (Tomlinson et.al. 2000)
4. Problem Statement
• Low average marks among the
subjects. NASA: A. Marks is 35 in
class 8.
• Meeting individual needs
/Addressing Differences.
• Ability based

5. Purpose Statement
• The purpose of my research is:
To improve my teaching quality.
To determine how the differentiated
instructions affects students’ achievement in
a mathematics classroom.
To help students to learn
mathematics effectively
with differentiation
instruction.

Research Question
• How can differentiated instructions help
in teaching in secondary level
mathematics?
1. How can I use differentiated instructions to
teach effectively secondary level mathematics?
2. How do differentiated instructions
help students to improve their
learning in mathematics?
Subsidiary Questions:
7. Significance of the Study
Wednesday, July 5,

1. This study will be important to me as a mathematics
teacher. And also, other mathematics teacher and
students will also get advantages from it.
2. It will be beneficial for the
educational policy maker, syllabus
designers, text book writers and
instructors.
3. It helps the teacher to develop an
effective instruction planning.
4. It helps the teacher to know the differentiated
teaching and learning strategies.
8. Delimitation
Wednesday, July 5, 2017

1. My research is limited in public schools
and only in secondary level.
2. It deals with learner-centered methods
and collaborative learning approach.
3. It considers the theory of individuals
differences, multiple intelligences.

Empirical Review
Bondley, Dominique (2011) conducted a
research on “How will Differentiated
Instruction affect Student Learning”.
Kirkey, Terri Lynn (2014) reported an
action research on “Differentiated

12. Research Gap
Wednesday, July 5, 2017

• Though most of the literatures that I have
gone through have connection to my
research, I could not
find any research that
has conducted in eastern
culture.
• Also I could not find any
research conducted in
secondary level mathematics teaching.

(Research Methodology)
(Action Research)
According to McNiff (2010), Action
research is a term which refers to a
practical way of looking at our own work to
check that it as you would like it to be.
According to Creswell (2012), Action
research is used when we have any
specific educational problem or issue to
solve.
According to Kemmis (1981), An essential
goal of action research is improving
teaching learning activities.
