Our Mission

At Numeracy Consultants, we are committed to revolutionizing mathematics education with our back-to-basics approach. Our mission is to equip teachers with comprehensive math intervention materials along with a meticulously designed instructional approach that incorporates research-based methods and best practices, ultimately bolstering RTI or MTSS interventions.

Our carefully crafted math intervention approach along with our assessment systems prioritize fundamental numeracy skills, multiplicative thinking, and fractional concepts. Recognizing the pivotal role of assessment in student success, we empower teachers by demonstrating how to leverage our math assessments effectively. By utilizing these assessments, teachers can guide students in developing essential skills, thereby establishing a rock-solid foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts.

Intervention Programs

We offer three meticulously crafted programs: the Primary Numeracy Intervention Program (Kdg-3rd), the Multiplicative Thinking Program (3rd - 5th), and the Fractional Reasoning Program (3rd - 6th). Each program is thoughtfully designed to address specific grade levels and mathematical concepts, ensuring a targeted and effective intervention. All three programs offer a free online training webinar / training, free assessments, workbooks, frameworks, lesson plan template, printables, and over 150 free resources to support the programs.

We understand that teachers require robust support for a successful intervention program, regardless of whether they implement a Response to Intervention (RTI) model or follow a Multi-Tier Systems of Support (MTSS) framework. That's why our free math intervention programs are carefully designed to cater to the needs of tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 interventions. We provide the resources and materials necessary for each tier, empowering teachers to deliver targeted instruction and support at every level.

A critical component of our instructional approach is task analysis, a meticulous process that deconstructs each concept into smaller, easily teachable skills. By breaking down complex ideas into manageable components, we facilitate the construction of a robust numeracy foundation. This systematic approach ensures that students not only grasp individual skills but also comprehend their interconnectedness, fostering a deep understanding of mathematics.

Quality Instruction

In today's classrooms, mathematics education often revolves around rote procedures and memorization, lacking a genuine understanding of the underlying concepts. Students are taught how to perform procedures, repetitively practicing them without grasping the underlying meaning. Consequently, they may solve problems in isolation but struggle when asked to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.

Regrettably, many teachers remain unaware that their instruction may prioritize processes and procedures over fostering conceptual understanding. As a result, significant gaps emerge within the curriculum, and misconceptions start to take root. This issue becomes particularly pronounced for students who already face challenges with mathematics.

We recognize the need for a transformative shift in mathematics education, one that prioritizes deep conceptual understanding alongside procedural fluency. Our approach goes beyond surface-level memorization, focusing on cultivating a profound comprehension of mathematical concepts. By bridging the gap between procedures and conceptual understanding, we empower students to tackle real-world tasks with confidence and competence.

RTI Math Interventions, Resources, and Programs

This website is designed to provide FREE Response to Intervention (RTI) / (MTSS) math interventions and resources for tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3. The goal is to find as many free or partially free research based programs, resources, and materials as possible. It is very hard to find resources online, so I tried to save people some time by putting all of this together.

I looked for programs that included assessments, progress monitoring, individualized instruction, mat erials, online tools, and best practices. Many of these programs, resources, and websites can be used with small group, whole group, or individual students. I hope you enjoy using, this website and please add it to your list of math intervention websites. If you come across a great resource please let me know about it. I enjoy hearing your feedback. Have a great 2022 / 2023 school year!

Thank you

Introduction to the tool by Dr. Schreuder

How this tool can help you

The Math Assessment Reasoning and Strategy system (MARS for short) is an organized way to interview students and find out what reasoning capabilities and skills they have already developed and what strategies they use.

This assessment will help you develop an intervention plan to support the student in their further development in math.

You can use this system while sitting down with the student and use your phone or a tablet to enter the observations.

The MARS system consists of the following categories

Addition and Subtraction

Multiplication and Division

Fractions, Decimals, and Percent

Every category has a number of questions you discuss with the students and on the observations page you note your interpretation of the answers. It is not only about the answer being right or wrong but more importantly how they reason to come to their answer of the problem presented.

The interview cards

Examining systemic mathematics instruction

In addition to helping learners develop problem-solving skills, mathematics has daily, real-world practical applications. Wisconsin schools have the responsibility to ensure that all students receive engaging, high-quality mathematical teaching aligned to grade-level standards. Mathematics teaching involves not only helping students develop mathematical skills but also empowering students to see themselves as being doers of mathematics. Schools use systemic and systematic structures and practices for mathematics instruction so all learners will have equitable access and opportunity.

Our approach for systems change

We support schools and districts as they work towards implementing integrated systems of academic, behavioral, and social-emotional supports. This is called Wisconsin's Framework for Equitable, Multi-level Systems of Supports. Mathematics is one of the content areas in this integrated system.

There is a foundational connection between the system (knowledge and practices used by ALL teachers) and mathematics achievement for ALL students. "In too many schools...some teachers actually embrace the norms of isolation and autonomy. A danger in isolation is that it can lead to teachers developing inconsistencies in their practice that in turn can create inequities in student learning." (NTCM 2014)

Where does Response to Intervention (RtI) fit into this system?

RtI is narrowly defined as a mandated, technical process for specific learning disability determinations (Wisconsin DPI). Often, general educators view RtI as something to support struggling learners in a particular academic area. The Wisconsin RtI Center's wide vision impacts ALL learners. We support schools and districts to proactively integrate RtI processes into the integrated framework.

Defining universal, selected, and intensive practices and supports for mathematics instruction at the school level

The foundation of a school's mathematics instruction is the universal level, where all learners receive strong, high-quality teaching. With each level of support (selected and intensive), the intensity of the instruction increases to match student need. The Wisconsin Standards for Mathematics define what students should know and be able to do by the end of each grade.

Teach math skills and strategies using an instructional framework

A systemic and systematic framework creates a vision for quality mathematics instruction that is shared by everyone in a school district.

An instructional framework:

Provides a common language for staff

Details the core math content and grade-level benchmarks

Uses evidence-based instructional strategies, practices, and assessments

Is aligned to the Wisconsin State Standards at grade level and across grade levels

Creates coherence around curriculum and instruction

Assures sustainability and clarity by documenting agreed-upon decisions

Assessing school-wide implementation through a mathematics lens

How well is your system meeting the needs of your learners? Schools can gauge their systemic mathematics implementation using the School-wide Implementation Review (SIR). Schools define and set up universal, selected, and intensive practices by content area, so the SIR can be taken through the lens of any particular content area. Most frequently, schools use the SIR to get a systemic and systematic look at their reading and mathematics instruction.

What is the School-wide Implementation Review (SIR)?

The SIR is a free, online tool that

Assesses academic system implementation around Wisconsin's Framework for Equitable Multi-level Systems of Supports

Is taken annually as part of the school's/district's action planning process

Is completed by school leadership teams that include a building administrator
