2. Introduction Where we have been... Where we are heading... r t i

3. Training Goals: Examine Tier 1 math challenges that may impact Tier 2. Identify Tier 2 math resources. Provide direction for prioritizing, diagnosing, and planning Tier 2 math instruction. r t i

4. Agenda: • Tier I Math Instruction • Tier 2 Purpose and “Must Haves” Assessment Tools Targeted Instruction Time and Intensity Progress Monitoring • Examples r t i

5. Your Materials: • PowerPoint slides packet • Yellow handouts for reflection exercises and activities • Green handout for video assessment clip • Articles (to be passed out later during fact fluency discussion) r t i

6. Sources: • Common Core State Standards • What Works Clearinghouse • Doing What Works • Research Journals • RTI Action Network • Center on Instruction • National Center on Response to Intervention • National Council of Teachers of Mathematics r t i

10. Dr. David AllsoppUniversity of South Florida Special Education Department Chair Former Middle School Teacher“RTI and Improved Math Achievement” Co-developer of MathVIDS and The Learning Toolbox • Allsopp is going to talk about 3 topics: • Teacher preparation • 2. The limited research base for math • intervention • 3. RTI as a powerful problem-solving process r t i

11. Knowledgeable Teachers Professional development opportunities: • MTI classes • MathVIDS.com • Webinars on RTI and math websites • Khan Academy • Mentors in your district • Every Child Ready for Math (K) r t i

12. Knowledgeable Teachers... know the learning progressions! Sources: • Common Core State Standards • Deconstructed standards • Learning Progressions • NCTM Focal Points • Books and Journals • Adding it Up r t i

13. CCSS Domain Progression r t i

14. CC Process Standards: Math Practices • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically. • Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. r t i

28. Probe Examples Handout (pages 5-7 in your yellow packet) r t i

29. Diagnostic Tools: K-1st Two essential aspects in the development of proficiency in mathematics with predictive validity: • Knowledge of magnitude of numbers • Counting efficiently and strategically Geary 2004, Kalchman, Moss, & Case 2001 r t i

30. Magnitude of Number: Which is bigger? (1-20 for K, 0-99 for 1st) 1st grade example: 37 48 Strategic Counting: Counting from numbers other than 1, counting backward (missing #) 1st grade example: 28 29 _____ 67 ____ 69 r t i

31. Additional Recommendations for K-1st : • Number Identification (K) • Basic Arithmetic Facts (beginning at the middle of first grade) r t i

32. Possible Diagnostic Tools (K-1): • Primary Math Assessment (PMA) • Number Knowledge Test (NKT) • Monitoring Basic Skills Progress (MBSP) • AIMSweb Test of Early Numeracy and/or Number Fly Early Math Probes* • Missing Number • Number ID • Oral Counting • Quantity Discrimination * free on Intervention Central r t i

33. Elementary Math: (2-6th) • Computation • Concepts and Applications Secondary Math: • Basic Skills and Concepts/Applications • Algebra Foundations • Content Analysis • Translations r t i Project AAIMS

34. Possible Diagnostic Tools: easyCBM (K-8) Primary Math Assessment (PMA) Math Navigator (2-10) Monitoring Basic Skills Progress (K-6) AIMSweb (K-8) Number Fly Early Numeracy (K-3) Project AAIMS (basic skills and algebra) r t i

35. Digging Deeper! Assessing Math Concepts preK-3rd (Kathy Richardson) • NCTM Assessment • handbooks • K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12 r t i

36. Digging Deeper! • NCTM Assessment Handbooks • K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12 • Example on page 8 of your yellow packet r t i

37. Pros and Cons... What are the pros and cons using student interviews or authentic assessment tasks? r t i
