Timely Mathematics Interventions (TMI)
Grant Sponsor: Kentucky Department of Education(KDE) Math and Science Partnership (MSP) Funds
Facilitated by: PIMSER-UK College of Ed, Kentucky Center for Mathematics, UK Mathematics Department
Please help yourself to some refreshments and get focused for our day of learning.We will begin promptly at 9:01 a.m.
Timely Mathematics Intervention (TMI)Timeline: February 2014- September 2016
Overarching Goal: 1. To develop a deep understanding of strategies and tools used for
Tier I intervention (majority of students) at the classroom level.2. To develop a deep understanding of number as it relates to success
in Algebra.
Community of Practice—making meaning to improve our mathematics classroom practice

TMI in Rewind…March Meeting
• Reviewed How Students Learn to see how are strategies we are learning fits into their research
• Participated in data collection activities
• Analyzed data through multiple representations

PGES ConnectionToday’s Focus!!!
Domain 1—Planning & PreparationComponent 1B:
Demonstrating Knowledge of Students
• Knowledge of Child & Adolescent Development
• Knowledge of Learning Process• Knowledge of Students’ Skills,
Knowledge, and Language Proficiency• Knowledge of Students’ Interests and
Cultural Heritage• Knowledge of Students’ Special Needs
Component 1E: Designing Coherent
Instruction• Learning Activities
• Instructional Materials and Resources
• Instructional Groups• Lesson and Unit Structure
Get to Know Your TI N-Spire
Expressions and Equations with Your
TI N-Spire Calculator
Expressions and Equations with Your N-Spire• Where would this activity be appropriate for your curriculum?
• Even though you have one calculator, how can you get your students involved with this lesson?
• What aspects of the N-Spire calculator do you feel comfortable with in implementing in your classroom?
• What aspects of the N-Spire calculator do you still need some support in order to implement into your classroom?

NEW BOOK!!!!
• What teachers do and instructional decisions made have an impact on student learning
• Different students approach mathematics in different learning styles and need different things from their teachers in order to succeed
• Style-based instruction is more than a way to get more students engaged, it is good mathematics instruction that is balanced, rigorous and diverse
Adapted from Harvey Silver presentation over Math Tools at ASCD Conference: Hilton Head, SC. January 2010.
Learning Styles
Let’s explore our learning style and what it says about our teaching
Mastery of conceptual and procedural knowledge.
A language to communicate ideas and solve real-world problems.
Understanding of logical reasoning to explain prove a solution.
Application of strategies to formulate and solve problems.
Mastery

What is in Math Tools?
• Aligned to Common Core with ties to Standards for Mathematical Practice• Organized around 4 learning styles (chapters) as outlined by Silver et.
al• A fifth chapter has mosaic tools which utilize all 4 learning styles• Each chapter begins with a matrix that shows how each tool ties to
Episodes of Effective Instruction, Side Bars and Standards for Mathematical Practice
SCAVENGER HUNTUsing your Math Tools book by Harvey Silver…complete the following
scavenger hunt.
We will debrief in 15 minutes!!
Instructional Intervention SequenceWhat are they?
• A series of activities that are tied to a topic, concept or learning target
• Intended for those struggling students who are at Tier I intervention based on formative assessment
• Uses research-based activities, interventions or technology to help students who are struggling in your classes
• Activities should help students to see the misconceptions they have on a particular topic, concept or learning target
Instructional Intervention Sequence
What is your role in this activity?• Active learner:• Expand your mathematical knowledge with these activities…think like your
students!!
• Practitioner: • Determine if these activities are congruent to our learning target.
Learning Target: I am learning to solve linear equations
Instructional Intervention Sequence
Why are we doing this?• To consolidate our first year of learning
• To help you in creating your own instructional intervention sequence for this product
• When all groups turn in their product, we will all have a toolkit for Tier I interventions for your classroom
Intervention #1: Algebra Tiles
Intervention #1: Algebra Tiles
• How would this intervention activity help students at the Tier I level overcome their misconceptions of solving linear equations?
• What are some issues you have with the use of algebra tiles in your classroom?
Intervention #2: Silent Teaching
Intervention #2: Silent Teaching
• How would this intervention activity help students at the Tier I level overcome their misconceptions of solving linear equations?
• How beneficial was silent teaching for this particular learning target? Was this intervention appropriate for this particular learning target?
Intervention #3: Flow Charts
Intervention #3: Flowcharts
• How would this intervention activity help students at the Tier I level overcome their misconceptions of solving linear equations?
• What are some issues you have with the use of flowcharts in your classroom?
REFLECTION TIME
Using your Activity Reflection Sheet think about how this activity relates to
our learnings from TMI.
HOMEWORK
• Brainstorm possible topic(s) you may be interested in creating an instructional intervention sequence
• Think about possible activities, lessons or technologies you could use in your instructional intervention sequence
TEMPERATURE CHECK
• Please provide us with a little formative feedback on today’s session so that we can better meet your needs tomorrow.
SEE YOU TOMORROW!!
