About this Title
Useful for small groups or one-on-one instruction, this book offers successful math interventions and RTI connections. Teachers will learn to target math instruction to struggling students by:
- Diagnosing weaknesses
- Providing specific, differentiated instruction
- Using formative assessments
- Offering corrective feedback
- Motivating students by using games
Taylor-Cox emphasizes four main goals for math instructors. They must help students achieve: accuracy, efficiency, flexibility, and fluency in solving math problems. Integral to each of these goals is ensuring that students understand math concepts. Taylor-Cox writes, "When concepts are ignored and the focus is solely on rules and procedures, struggling students often develop misconceptions and learning gaps." Math Interventions: Building Number Power, Grades PreK-2 provides math teachers with specific strategies for imparting those concepts.
