Intervention Strategies for Struggling Math Learners
I found an RTI "If this... then this..." document for intervention instruction for Reading or ELA but never found one for Math. I put this together after college. It's not perfect or fool proof, but it's been effective in my experiences, and it does fill the void of an "If this...then this" piece for teaching math and doing RTI.
Interventions include strategies for the following areas:
-numeracy
-fluency in math facts
-computation
-estimation
-measurement
-problem solving
-geometry

i-Ready Checklist for Reading & Math by Domains
You do not have a true picture of a student's problem areas by looking at the overall score, placement, and color on i-Ready. You MUST look at the individual scores on each domain to understand how to help them improve. This is especially helpful when creating groups. The only way to see this information is to look at each separate student individually. I needed a way to see them all together in a list. Working in EIP (Early Intervention Program) this year, I even must look at students from d
