Educational institutions are faced with an increased number of students who enter school with varied educational needs. Teachers are expected to amend their instructional methods to ensure they meet the needs of their students so both teachers and students can meet their educational objectives. Differentiated instruction (DI) is a method that teachers can use to meet the learning needs of students with varied abilities. The problem this study addressed is why teachers are not using DI even if they are aware of its benefits to students with varied abilities. The purpose of this single case study design was to find out if teachers were using DI, and the challenges they faced that prevented them from using it. Data collection techniques such as interviews and observations were used to collect pertinent data for this study. The sample size selected for this study included 20 mathematics teachers from five secondary schools. The findings of this study indicated the teachers who participated in the study were fully trained in the use of DI and were aware of its importance and positive impact on students in mixed-ability classrooms. However, participants indicated they faced a number of challenges that prevented them from using DI or not using it effectively. The participants identified various factors such as inadequate time to differentiate instruction, a lack of resources to differentiate instruction, various classroom management issues, a general lack of support from the school administration, and large classroom size as some of the major components that hindered their ability to differentiate instruction. Future research should focus on how educators can minimize the challenges they encounter when implementing DI so teachers can use differentiated methods more frequently to meet the increased number of students with diverse needs in their classrooms.
