The Numeracy Project is a free numeracy development resource provided by the Georgia Department of Education and adapted by Heartland AEA, which introduces teachers and teacher leaders to the trajectory by which learners acquire a solid foundation in numeracy. This package contains assessments (universal screeners, diagnostic tool, progress monitoring) and intervention activities.

• Why: To assist teachers and school staff with providing appropriate, timely interventions to students who are progressing towards a level of mastery within the Numeracy Project.  It is focused on developing students' understanding of numbers, and their ability to use numbers to solve problems. 
• Who: Created for use with students K-8, however, it can be used for high school students as needed

Fraction Activities and Assessments for Conceptual Teaching by Dr. Jessica Hunt, NC State; focuses on foundational fraction topics; includes diagnostic fraction tasks, learning trajectories, instructional activities, and PD videos; materials can be downloaded for free 

Learning Mathematics through Representations (LMR)

Learning Mathematics through Representations (LMR) is a research-based curriculum unit for the teaching and learning of integers and fractions in the elementary grades (26 lessons). The curriculum uses the number line as the principal representational context and builds upon two core ideas: (a) mathematical representations are fundamental to mathematical communication and learning and (b) curriculum units should be designed as well-orchestrated lesson sequences that support insight and understanding rooted in systematic research.

Gap Closing

Gap Closing resources are designed for students who need additional support in mathematics. For each topic in the resource, there is a diagnostic and a set of intervention materials. Diagnostics are designed to uncover the typical problems students have with a specific topic.

Keystone Media Collection offers a variety of math intervention materials for preview. Most can be used alongside your core mathematics curriculum. While some are straightforward, others require training for proper use and full implementation.

Assessing and Developing Math Concepts 

Assessing and Developing Math Concepts kit consists of 3 teaching guide books: Counting, Comparing, and Pattern, Addition & Subtraction, and Place Value, Multiplication and Division, a teacher planning guide and the nine assessment books from the Assessing Math Concepts Assessment series: 1. Counting Objects; 2. Changing Numbers; 3. More/Less Trains; 4. Number Arrangements; 5. Combination Trains; 6. Hiding Assessment; 7. Ten Frames; 8. Grouping Tens; and 9. Two-Digit Addition & Subtraction. Assessing Math Concepts is a continuum of assessments that focuses on core concepts and related "Critical Learning Phases" that must be in place if children are to understand and be successful in mathematics. Two-week loan period. For additional assistance contact AEA Math Consultant.

Number Sense Interventions

Designed to help kindergartners at risk for math difficulties with explicit, evidence-based interventions. They can be used on their own or as a follow-up to the Number Sense Screener. The interventions in the guide are a simple and effective way to boost key math skills such as oral counting, number recognition, and numeral writing. Includes 24 scripted lessons for helping small groups of struggling students (30 minutes each). Has photocopiable activity sheets & other materials. Reproducible pages.

SOAR Intervention (training highly recommended) 

The Supporting Ongoing Achievement Responsively (SOAR) learning series was designed to identify and support students' mathematical understanding that is in need of further inquiry and development. SOAR Survey Tools offer teacher support in 3 parts: a set of survey questions, a monitoring checklist, and tiered survey summary. SOAR Activities are intervention activities designed and sequenced to support students across tiers of intervention. Each activity is aligned to the survey tool and designed to support student learning in areas of need. Each activity outlines mathematical foci, identifies the essential mathematical understandings, and provides questions to target understandings. Contact Keystone AEA Math Consultants for further information and implementation. Mathematics Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Addition and Subtraction. Three week loan period. IL 1-5.

Addition and Subtraction SOAR Kit

Multiplication and Division SOAR Kit

Fractions SOAR Kit

Bridges Intervention - Keystone has the 1st edition within our collection for preview.  The Math Learning Center came out with a revised edition in May of 2022.

Do the Math - Created by Marilyn Burns, Do the Math intervention modules continue to be a great resource for supporting students.  Each module focuses on different mathematical concepts by focuses on building procedural skill and fluency from conceptual understanding in the areas of addition and subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions.

Sample module can be check for preview: Multiplication A and Multiplication B

Transition to Algebra, Logic of Fractions

Kit contains sample unit (Unit 8) from the curriculum series Transition to Algebra designed for use in a yearlong algebra support class. Units, activities, and lessons are meant to be used alongside an introductory algebra class or prior to one. Kit contains Series Overview which explains the philosophy & organization of the program, Unit 8 Teaching Guide, Unit 8 Answer Key, & information card. Math intervention. For use with grades 8-12.

Lessons and Activities for Building Powerful Numeracy

Building Powerful Numeracy for Middle and High School Students brought the world of research on numeracy at the elementary level to the secondary level, helping teachers build numeracy in their students and showing how that work supports students in understanding higher math. Now, Pam Harris continues her work by offering lessons and activities that promote her strategies for teaching as much mathematics as possible with as little memorization as possible. Two types of activities for building numeracy are included in this workbook: Student Workouts include reproducible worksheets that students can work on independently or in pairs, followed by robust class discussion to promote understanding of the ideas. Teacher Directed Activities are whole-class mini-lessons designed to help students construct numerical relationships as they work with the teacher. While the student workouts provide starting points for students to build important numerical relationships and choose effective strategies, the teacher directed activities provide opportunities for discussing, comparing, modeling, verbalizing strategies, finding and describing patterns, and making generalizations. Together they help develop the mathematical habits of mind that students need for higher math.
