How to Use This Math Intervention Curriculum

Ideally, your groups should be no more than five students of similar skill. This helps you focus on specific needs and not feel overwhelmed by varying levels.

Each session should last 20-30 minutes and provide intensive instruction in number sense. The activities in this pack will HELP you do this, but I also encourage you to incorporate any other number sense strategies, games, songs, etc., that you find effective, too. The goal, of course, is to get HELP THE KIDDOS LEARN!

Because your students are sitting in close proximity to you during this time, it is easy to provide different activity mats for different students and not feel overwhelmed.
