Academic Target: Math Skills

Incremental Rehearsal . The strategy provides the student with a virtually error-free to review math facts and other items that can be presented via flashcards.

Self-Administered Arithmetic Combination Drills With Performance Self-Monitoring & Incentives. This self-administered intervention encourages the student to increase computation fluency.

Cover-Copy-Compare. The student self-administers this intervention to promote acquisition of math facts, spelling words, etc.

Problem-Interspersal Technique. The student is given a math computation worksheet that has difficult and easy problems intermixed.

Peer Tutoring in Math Computation with Constant Time Delay. This intervention package trains students to serve as reciprocal tutors with peers to target math computation. It is a skills 'acquisition' strategy.

Cognitive and Metacognitive Strategy: Math Word Problems. This intervention teaches the student a 7-step process for solving math word problems--and also gives the student training in serving as their own 'metacognitive coach' through a Say, Ask, Check sequence.

Math Worksheet Generator. Use this free application from Intervention Central to design and print worksheets to use in math computation interventions.

 

Academic Target: Study/Organizational Skills

Classroom Interventions: Study/Organizational Skills

Classroom Intervention: 'Managing Test Anxiety' Test-Preparation Strategies

Parent Intervention: Homework Contract

Classroom Accommodation: Guided Notes

 

Academic Target: Motivation

Classroom Intervention: Six Reasons Why Students Are Unmotivated (and What Teachers Can Do)

Tracking Student Motivation Goals: Behavior Report Card Generator. Customize your own 'Daily Behavior Report Card' to measure student classroom behaviors, have students self-rate their behaviors, and communicate with parents about their child's school conduct and work habits.

 

Web Resources: These web sites offer additional math intervention resources.

What Works Clearinghouse Practice Guides. These short (60-100 page) manuals give research-based ideas for teachers and schools for interventions.

Cognitive Strategy Instruction . This website presents a series of interventions in which students are taught thinking strategies that they can use to perform better in reading, mathematics, writing, studying, and other areas. The site was created by Dr. Bob Reid and Torri Lienemann at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Ideas to Boost Basic Academic Skills . This site, 'Scientifically Based Research', contains interventions that target reading, math, and writing. The strategies were written by Dr. Amanda VanDerHeyden of the University of Southern California at Santa Barbara and Dr. Joe Witt of Louisiana State University.

Reading, Math, & Writing Interventions from MSU . Find pages featuring intervention ideas to improve reading comprehension, writing, and math skills on this site. It is sponsored by the School Psychology Program at Michigan State University.

Intervention Central . The site has a range of academic and behavioral intervention ideas suitable for middle and high schools.

Evidence-Based Intervention Network. Created by the school psychology program at the University of Missouri, this site has research-based intervention scripts for academics and behavior.

National Mathematics Advisory Panel Report. Curriculum and instructional recommendations from the 2008 National Math Panel.
