We are currently using i-Ready. It is a computer based program that gives us students performance results on their Math abilities. We like it although it costs $6 per student.
We are also giving small formative assessments and then giving review lessons on those who are having trouble. I will try to compile a zip folder of examples soon.

Hi,
I work in a middle school and we are beginning RTI Math for grades 6, 7, and 8.
Any suggestions on forms protocal, computer programs. We have read about what there is on the main websites, but I would like your input.
