Intervention Tool Chart :: Math

Looking for an intervention for your students?  The Intervention Tools Chart is designed to be used by educators as a resource to locate interventions, instructional practices, and learning strategies that can be used within an RtI process.  Please note:  the listing of specific tools is not meant as an endorsement by the NYS RtI MS DP or the NYSED.  Rather, it is up to the consumer to research selected tools for evidence of effectiveness.  The chart contains three types of tools that are either free or available for purchase:  commercial programs, instructional practices, and learning strategies.

Connected Mathematics Project (CMP) is a math curriculum for students in grades 6–8. It uses interactive problems and everyday situations to explore mathematical ideas, with a goal of fostering a problem-centered, inquiry-based learning environment.

Operations
Tier I,II,III
1st—12th

Cover, Copy, and Compare (CCC) is a self-managed intervention that can be used to enhance accuracy in math fact fluency other academic subject areas. In CCC, students look at an academic stimulus (e.g., math fact). They then cover it, copy it, and evaluate their response by comparing it to the original fact. If there is an error, the students engage in error correction procedures before moving onto the next item.
