The intervention programme was conducted for 15 sessions. The duration of each session was 40 minutes. In differential instruction, two strategies were chosen i.e Mnemonics and graphic organizers (GO) were as in functional math skills Money and measurement skills were identified. The researcher used MAAM checklist for assessing pre-requisite skill for the selection of the sample and assessing the performance of the subjects in math skill. The paired t-test was conducted to find out the statistical significance between the mean scores. The derived conclusion indicated that the subjects showed higher achievement in functional math (money and measurement) when they were taught through differential instruction.
