Taped Problems (TP) was designed to be used with both individual and groups of students who need to increase accuracy and/or fluency when completing basic math facts. This intervention is appropriate for students who conceptually grasp basic number/operation concepts (e.g., number identification, equal interval, more, less) and who use counting strategies to arrive at accurate answers.

This intervention promotes the acquisition of math facts. The student is given a sheet containing math facts to practice. The student studies each math fact with answer that appears on the sheet, covers the fact briefly and copies it from memory, then compares the student-copied math fact and answer to the original correct model (Joseph et al., 2011; Skinner, McLaughlin & Logan, 1997).
Materials:
Procedures: Here are the steps of Cover-Copy-Compare for math facts:

STEP 1: [Teacher] Create a Cover-Copy-Compare math fact sheet. The teacher selects up to 10 math facts for the student to practice during the session and writes those facts (including number sentence and answer) as correct models into the left column of the Cover-Copy-Compare Worksheet ( horizontal or vertical poblems). The teacher then pre-folds the sheet using as a guide the vertical dashed line ('fold line') dividing the left side of the student worksheet.

STEP 2: [Student] Use the Cover-Copy-Compare procedures. During the Cover-Copy-Compare intervention, the student is trained to follow these self-directed steps for each math fact:

Study the correctly completed math fact (model) that appears in the left column of the sheet.

Fold the left side of the page over at the pre-folded vertical crease to hide the original math fact ('Cover').

Copy from memory the math fact and answer, writing it in the first response blank under the 'Student Response' section of the Cover-Copy-Compare worksheet ('Copy').

Uncover the original correct model and compare it to the student response ('Compare'). If the student has written the math fact and answer CORRECTLY, the student moves to the next item on the list and repeats these procedures. If the student has written the math fact INCORRECTLY, the student draws a line through the incorrect response, studies the correct model again, covers the model, copies the model again from memory into the second response blank under the 'Student Response' section of the sheet, and again checks the correctness of the copied item..

Continue until all math facts on the sheet have been copied and checked against the correct models.

STEP 3: [Teacher] Log: items mastered by the student. The teacher should formulate an objective standard for judging that the student using Cover-Copy-Compare has 'mastered' a particular math fact (e.g., when the student is able to copy that fact with answer from memory without error on three successive occasions). The teacher can then apply this standard for mastery to identify and log items mastered in each session, using the appropriate Cover-Copy-Compare Log Sheet.

Variations: One modification of Cover-Copy-Compare that may make it even more effective is to have the student respond orally. The student covers the original math fact and orally states the fact and answer rather than putting it in writing (Skinner, Bamberg, Smith, & Powell, 1993). Because students can often respond more quickly by stating rather than writing their response, oral responding can speed the task and result in a larger number of effective learning trials in the time allocated.

Effective Teaching Strategies for Dyscalculia and Learning Difficulties in Mathematics provides an essential bridge between scientific research and practical interventions with children. It unpacks what we know about the possible cognitive causation of mathematical difficulties in order to improve teaching and therefore learning.

Each chapter considers a specific domain of children's numerical development: counting and the understanding of numbers, understanding of the base-10 system, arithmetic, word problem solving, and understanding rational numbers. The accessible guidance includes a literature review on each topic, surveying how each process develops in children, the difficulties encountered at that level by some pupils, and the intervention studies that have been published. It guides the reader step-by-step through practical guidelines of how to assess these processes and how to build an intervention to help children master them.

Illustrated throughout with examples of materials used in the effective interventions described, this essential guide offers deep understanding and effective strategies for developmental and educational psychologists, special educational needs and/or disabilities coordinators, and teachers working with children experiencing mathematical difficulties.

Module Overview

In Module 4, we discussed important components for the delivery of intensive intervention. In Module 5, we focus on three instructional strategies teachers should embed within every intensive intervention session. We rely on a strong research base for these recommendations about fluency, problem solving, and motivation. In this module, educators will learn about:

How to build fact fluency

Ineffective and effective problem-solving strategies

Why to include a motivation component within intensive intervention

This module is divided into three parts, with an introduction and closing. A 508 compliant version of the full PowerPoint presentation across all parts of the module is available below.

Part 1: How do you build fact fluency within intensive intervention?

Part 1 emphasizes the need to practice math facts with students who require intensive intervention. We review the four operations and strategies to help students organize math fact knowledge. Teachers learn math fact practice should be brief but occur during every intensive intervention session. We also provide an overview of several ways to practice fact fluency.

Part 2: How do you incorporate effective problem-solving strategies within intensive intervention?

Part 2 reviews the research base on problem-solving instruction. We explain how teaching students to recognize keywords and linking keywords to an operation is an ineffective problem-solving strategy. Teachers learn to use an attack strategy coupled with a focus on the schema of word problems in order to teach students to be efficient problem solvers. We emphasize problem-solving instruction should occur within every intensive intervention session.

Coaching Materials and Facilitation Guide

"Coaching/Facilitator Guide" helps facilitate implementation, reflection, and feedback. It is intended for use by external (i.e., SEA or LEA staff, faculty, project-based coaches) or internal (i.e., school-based instructional coaches) coaches working directly with in-service educators who are learning and practicing the course content. Additionally, materials within the coaching/facilitator guide can be adapted by faculty as they prepare pre-service educators. The goal for coaching/facilitation is to ensure that educators are practicing the content they are learning and receiving feedback to improve their instruction. Included in this guide are: (a) sample communication emails, (b) a master checklist, (c) a discussion guide with important talking points, and (d) a fidelity form that can be completed by a coach/facilitator when observing classroom instruction.

In this activity, you match visual models of fractions (or mixed numbers) with other visual models, or with the fractions written as numbers. Place the two fractions or visual models that are equal in the two pans. Then click "CHECK", and if it is correct, click "OK".

At first, you choose whether you'd like to work with FRACTIONS or MIXED NUMBERS. Either way, there are lots of difficulty levels, giving you lots of practice. In the harder levels you'll need to simplify the fractions and think of equivalent fractions. You will earn stars from completing a level.

These activities will help students to identify fractions and equivalent fractions.

The Common Core and other college- and career-ready (CCR) standards call for a greater focus in mathematics. Rather than racing to cover topics in a mile-wide, inch-deep curriculum, CCR standards require us to significantly narrow and deepen the way time and energy are spent in the math classroom. We focus deeply on the major work of each grade so that students can gain strong foundations: solid conceptual understanding, a high degree of procedural skill and fluency, and the ability to apply the math they know to solve problems inside and outside the math classroom. The following documents illustrate these concepts using the Common Core State Standards, but Focus, Coherence, and Rigor are integral to all college- and career-ready standards.
