Ready, Set, Review

“So, what should we see in an effective mathematics classroom?

A deliberate and carefully planned reliance on ongoing, cumulative review of key skills and concepts

Using cumulative review to keep skills and understandings fresh, reinforce previously taught material, and give students a change to clarify their understandings.”

Response to InterventionOur programs are used both at Tier 1 to supplement

the core instructional mathematics curriculum and Tier 2 with follow-up Skill Builders.

Using the programs ensure that more students are able to meet grade level norms without additional assistance because of the comprehensive, systematic review of essential basic skills and concepts.

The weekly tracking provides frequent progress monitoring, thus identifying which students need additional instruction and review. This review is done with the Skill Builders.
