TIER 1
Math Intervention Examples
TIER 1 Math Interventions:
Overall Skills are lower than grade level:
-assess for level of instruction
-provide small group instruction on needed skills
Difficulty remembering math facts:
-separate facts into sets of fact families
-provide extra opportunities
-provide references to assist in fact calculation
-use manipulative objects
-practice flashcards with peer/volunteer
-use folding in technique for flashcard practice
-student self-check/correct practice sheets
Difficulty attending to important details:
-highlight operational signs/key words
-use vertical lines/graph paper for organization
-reduce the number of problems per page
-use a window overlay to isolate problems
-have student repeat directions to teacher
Inability to read text for word problems:
-align material with students reading level
-highlight key words in math problem
Slow rate of completion:
-reduce number of items to complete
-provide manipulatives
Problems sequencing steps for computation:
-consistent review of steps
-reference sheet kept at student desk
-use acronyms to remember steps
-color coding of steps
-use of manipulative objects
-use of calculator
Failure to visualize concepts:
-use simple, consistent language
-provide visual examples
-assess and explicitly teach concept terminology
Difficulty solving word problems:
-use concrete examples
-highlight key operational words
-have students restate problem
-use of calculator/manipulatives
Other:
-small group instruction
-individual assistance from teacher/volunteer

Tips
EasyCBM:
This site has a great assortment of CBM probes for progress monitoring in both reading and math. There is a lite version that is free (which is definitely the way to go). It has probes for specific content areas or for general skill gaps, and sign up takes less than 5 minutes. Perfect for the busy classroom teacher to collect data for SST.

Xtramath.org:A quick and easy intervention for math fact fluency. The site includes great data and offers supports for struggling learners.
Students work to quickly answer basic computation and build fluency and accuracy. If it takes a student too long to answer, the program gives them a visual cue with the answer, but they still have to enter it. Over time the program rotates through the problems the student has yet to master, working them toward fluency.

Intervention Central:
Focused on providing teachers the strategies that are research-based for intervention, Intervention Central is an amazing resource.
Unlike some of the other sites I am listing, this one will take you a bit more time to read and process, but it outlines all the steps for some strong, research-based intervention strategies, along with citations so you can read the original study (if that is your thing).
Mathematical Reasoning Inventory:
Need to dig in and identify those gaps? This free tool from math guru Marilyn Burns is just the thing you need. With a free teacher
With a free teacher account, you can have up to 160 kids in the system. The focus of this assessment is an interview style format that lets you observe to identify misconceptions and thinking strategies.
TenMarks:This site offers a free teacher account and is great for those students who need a Tier 1 reteach and extra guided practice and support. With
With built-in assessment and differentiation, the program monitors how students progress. It also gives modeling and visuals for problem-solving. This is great for those students who are struggling with a specific concept or just-below grade level standard. Plus it works on tablets!

Probe (examples)
If you work for Arabia Mountain High School, additional probes can be found in the little red school house under the RTI folder. If you are logged into Dekalb County Schools Sharepoint (Office 365), here is the link for the written expression folder.
