Math RtI Overview

How does Delta Math support early intervention

in Math?

(A.K.A. - Math RtI)

Component 1 - Universal Screening

• What is it?• Reliable, valid, individual or group assessment

(accurate)• Brief, low-cost, repeatable and easy to

administer (efficient)• Aligned to the curriculum (relevant)• Sensitive to incremental student growth

(sensitive)• Give a cut-point or a benchmark goal

(meaningful)

Component 2 - Multi-Tiered Support

Universal PreventionCore Instruction, all students,preventive, proactive80%

Targeted Intervention Supplemental, some students, reduce risk 15-20%

Intensive Intervention Individualized, highly specific 5-10%

All Students in School

Relate #s and quantities to 30 Count to 100 by tens

Compare numbers to 30

Understand numbers to 30 as having groups of tens and

some ones

Identify one more thana number from 2 to 10

Compose and decomposenumbers from 2 to 10

Recommended for Tier 3 when student does not respond

to Tier 2 interventions.

Component 3 - Progress monitoring

Gives the teacher information on whether (or not) a student is benefiting from instructional strategies as well as whether the student is on-track to reach his or her learning goal

Provides frequent data to guide instructional decisions

Must align with the overall goal of the intervention

4th Grade Quick Check

Data-based Decision MakingScreening/Diagnostic Data

Used to identify students who may need additional help.

Determines what students can and cannot do within a certain skill set to pinpoint intervention needs.

Progress MonitoringUsed to create flexible intervention groups and

to verify that the students is making progress towards an established goal.

Should an intervention be delivered to all students as a Tier 1 intervention, or to small Tier 2 intervention groups?
