Regularly monitor the student’s progress and track the student's improvement in math skills and engagement over time.

• Look For: Improvement with differentiated support or continued struggle despite accommodations.

Adjust instruction and interventions as needed.

• Modify strategies, provide additional support, or re-assess the need for further services (e.g., speech therapy, IEP).

Communicate with special education staff, ESL teachers, or other specialists.

• Discuss possible next steps, evaluations, or additional interventions.

Inform and involve parents.

Assess language skills by looking at reading and listening comprehension, vocabulary use, and verbal communication.

Does the student consistently struggle with number concepts (e.g., addition, subtraction)?

Is there difficulty understanding math patterns or applying strategies?

Look For: Difficulty with basic operations; Trouble understanding or retaining math facts; Difficulty with problem-solving steps.

• If YES: Document the difficulties and consult with a special education team for further assessment.

• If NO: Consider other factors (e.g., motivation, classroom environment).

Use visual supports (pictures, charts, graphs).

Offer additional verbal explanations.

Provide math instructions in simpler language or use bilingual resources.

Use hands-on manipulatives to support abstract concepts.

Provide extra practice with a focus on skills.

Use alternative strategies (e.g., breaking tasks into smaller steps, offering additional time).
