Intensive Math Support (Period 2)

• Direct instruction – Math Intervention is not a homework/study hall period.

• Re-teaching of regular course content with emphasis on results of District Common Assessments for Math (DCA-M = Benchmark).

• Hands-on learning tasks with extensive modeling.

• Additional guided practice.

• Emphasis on reading, understanding, and representing problems – the problem solving process.

• Classroom discussion and “math talk” – there should be a great deal of teacher-student interaction during class.

• Emphasis on teaching math vocabulary – word walls.

• Addressing pre-requisite skill gaps
