ABSTRACT Differentiated learning is an approach designed to accommodate the differences in students' intellectual abilities (IQ) in elementary school so that each student can learn according to their needs and potential. This study aims to examine the implementation of differentiated learning in dealing with variations in student IQ, the role of teachers in identifying and meeting student learning needs, and the challenges and solutions taken in the implementation of these strategies. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that differentiated learning strategies that include student grouping, variety of teaching methods, and adjustment of learning products are effective in helping students learn optimally according to their level of intelligence. Teachers have an important role to play in recognizing the individual needs of students and adapting the learning process to be inclusive and adaptive. Although there are various challenges such as limited time, resources, and teacher competence, solutions in the form of training, collaboration, and the use of technology can overcome these obstacles. Thus, differentiated learning contributes to the creation of education that is fair, effective, and able to improve the quality of student learning in elementary school.]]>
