This article discusses the current situation of the development of multi-grade instruction in the elementary schools of Chiayi County from the phenomenon of declining birthrate. The literature explores the plight of elementary school education under the trend of declining birthrate and the corresponding countermeasures for multi-grade instruction. Through interviews with individual school teachers, the data is analyzed and analyzed. This paper finds that in multi-grade instruction, teachers face the challenges of students’ differentiation and integration of teaching materials, mathematics has its difficulties in multi-grade instruction, and teachers’ confidence in multi-grade instruction comes from the feedback of students’ performance and the trust of parents. In the future, the central and local governments can establish a comprehensive guidance support system to meet the needs of multi-grade instruction, and schools can also develop a multi-grade instruction resource platform to provide teachers with professional assistance.
