Do not worry about your problems with mathematics,
I assure you mine are far greater.

The Math Caveat
• A lit search for studies on reading disabilities studies and math disability studies from 1996-2005 found over 600 studies in the area of reading and less than 50 for mathematics (12:1)
• Specific RTI mathematics studies for a recent annotated bibliography totaled 9 studies

Universal ScreeningDecision Rules
– K: Students receiving only “o” and/or “/” in the “Progression of Mathematics Stages” on the Progress Report are screened using CBM.
– 1-2: Students receiving only “1” and/or “/” in “math” on the Progress Report are screened using CBM.
– 3-5: Students receiving only “1,” “2,” and/or “/” in “math” on the Progress Report AND scoring below the 30th percentile on the OAKS, are screened using CBM.
– Students who meet the above criteria are assessed using Curriculum Based Measurements (CBM: Missing Number for K/1 and Basic Facts for 2-5). Students scoring below the 25th percentile on CBMs are placed in Second Tier Interventions.

Universal Screening
• The Math Measures:– K-1: Missing Number (CBM)– Grades 2-5: Basic Facts (CBM)
• The Decision Rule:– Students scoring at or below the 30%tile on
CBMs are placed in Second Tier interventions

Missing Number - 1
•One Minute assessment•Individually administered

•Two to four Minute assessment (depending on grade)•Group administered

Progress Monitoring
Decision Rules• CBMs are given every other week
– Trained instructional assistants will complete progress monitoring
• Review trend lines every 12 weeks– We need a longer intervention period because:
• Growth on math CBMs happens in small increments
![Page 14: Tiered Math Instruction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f6a550346895dbd1f70/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Growth trajectories for responders/non responders can be based on local and class or grade performance
• Or use projected rate of growth from national norms—eg AIMSweb 50th %tile– Grade 1, .03 digit per week growth
– Grade 3, .04 digit per week growth
– Grade 5, .07 digit per week growth

Point of Discussion
“the general concept of automaticity. . . is that, with extended practice, specific skills can read a level of proficiency where skill execution is rapid and accurate with little or no conscious monitoring … attentional resources can be allocated to other tasks or processes, including higher-level executive or control function” (Goldman & Pellegrino, 1987, p. 145 as quoted in Journal of Learning Disabilities, “Early Identification of Students with Math Disabilities,” July/August 2005 p 294

Learning Processes
• Conceptual understanding, computational fluency and problem-solving skills are each essential and mutually reinforcing.
• Effort-based learning has greater impact than the notion of inherent ability
• The notion of “developmentally appropriate practices” based on age or grade level has consistently been proven to be wrong. Instead, learning is contingent on prior opportunities to learn.
![Page 21: Tiered Math Instruction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f6a550346895dbd1f70/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Core curriculum content• Whole number: understand place value, compose/decompose
numbers, leaning of operations, algorithms and automaticity with facts, apply to problem solving, use/knowledge of commutative, associative, and distributive properties,
• Rational number: locate +/- fractions on number line, represent/compare fractions, decimals percents, sums, differences products and quotients of fractions are fractions, understand relationship between fractions, decimals, and percents, understand fractions as rates, proportionality, and probability, computational facility
• Critical aspects of geometry and measurement: similar triangles, slope of straight line/linear functions, analyze properties of two and three dimensional shapes and determine perimeter, area, volume, and surface area

Professional Development
• Teacher induction programs have positive effects on all teachers.
• Professional development is important- continue to build content knowledge as well as learning strategies.
• Teachers who know the math content they are teaching, including the content before and beyond, have the most impact on student achievement.
![Page 23: Tiered Math Instruction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f6a550346895dbd1f70/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Practices That Work
• Using formative assessments • Low achievers need explicit instruction in addition
to daily core instruction• Technology supports drill practice and
automaticity• Gifted students should accelerate and receive
enrichment

So What? Now What?
• What information coincided with your understanding of effective math instruction, or practices in your district?
• What surprised you?
• What implications does the report have for this school year? Future years?

Tier I
• 45-90 minutes core instruction
• K-12 curriculum alignment
• Systematic instruction and feedback
• Teach content to mastery
• Focus on fractions!

Mindset
• Incorporate social and intellectual support from peers and teachers
• Teach students that effort has a huge impact on math achievement
![Page 29: Tiered Math Instruction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f6a550346895dbd1f70/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Math Instruction: Research Foundation
• Focused, coherent progression of curriculum leading to proficiency in algebraic skills
• Proficiency:– Automaticity: Recall of Facts– Fluency with +, -, x, -/-– Properties: Commutative, Distributive, Associative
• Content: – Whole #s– FRACTIONS– Geometry – Measurement
• Skills: – Conceptual – Fluency– Problem Solving
![Page 30: Tiered Math Instruction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f6a550346895dbd1f70/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What about interventions?
• Emphasis on research-based instructional strategies (not “programs”)
• Increase opportunities to practice a skill correctly– Guided practice (“I do, We do, You do”)– Correction routine
![Page 31: Tiered Math Instruction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f6a550346895dbd1f70/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Tier II Interventions for Math (Within the Core)
• Kindergarten– Increased teacher attention during math
• Grades 1-5 – 10 minutes of additional guided practice per
day OR– 10 minutes of Computer Assisted Instruction
(CAI) per day
![Page 32: Tiered Math Instruction](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f6a550346895dbd1f70/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Tier II & III:Research on Best Practices

Point of Discussion
“Explicit instruction with students who have mathematical difficulties has shown consistently positive effects on performance with word problems and computations. Results are consistent for students with learning disabilities, as well as other student who perform in the lowest third of a typical class.”
