A comprehensive suite of strategies and visual supports designed to help K-5 students decode and solve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division word problems using a detective-themed approach.
A hands-on, industrial-themed unit focused on understanding, generating, and explaining equivalent fractions through interactive centers. Students act as 'Foundry Engineers' to master visual equivalence, symbolic representation, and whole-number fractions.
A collection of Valentine's Day math packets at two different levels (Level 1 and Quest), covering budgeting, graphing, measurement, time, and word problems.
A comprehensive week-long kindergarten math unit where students join the 'Bear Brigade' to master counting, cardinality, and number comparison (1-10) through woodland-themed adventures.
A specialized Tier 3 intervention sequence for 8th-grade students performing at a 5th-grade level, focusing on bridging foundational arithmetic to high school algebra concepts. This sequence uses concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) methods to explore area modeling, systems of equations, exponential patterns, and inequalities.
A 3-day small group math unit for 4th grade focused on TEKS 4.5(D), solving area and perimeter problems using the Read-Draw-Write strategy and blueprint-themed reference materials.
A foundational unit on place value that spirals from teen numbers up to the hundreds place. Using a 'Digit Builders' architectural theme, students learn to construct, deconstruct, and compare 2-digit and 3-digit numbers, building a solid foundation for future math.
A 3-day small group math sequence for 5th grade focused on TEKS 5.3K. Students learn to fluently add and subtract positive rational numbers by converting between fractions and decimals and using the Read-Draw-Write strategy for STAAR-aligned word problems.
A comprehensive 3-day math sequence focused on TEKS 5.3K, where students learn to fluently add and subtract positive rational numbers involving both decimals and fractions in the same expressions through a construction-themed 'Rational Builders' unit.
A 10-lesson intensive unit for 2nd Grade focusing on high-leverage place value and operations concepts (IM Units 4 & 5), using an architectural blueprint theme to build conceptual understanding of numbers up to 1,000.
A comprehensive 7-lesson intervention sequence designed to build conceptual fraction understanding through visual models, number lines, and scaffolded practice. The sequence moves from basic area models to adding and subtracting with unlike denominators, prioritizing 'why' over 'how'.
A comprehensive math and SEL integration designed for Grades 5-6, focusing on multi-step fraction word problems through the lens of growth mindset and productive struggle. Students learn to reframe mistakes as data points and persistence as a measurable skill.
A small group intervention sequence focused on Grade 3 area concepts, specifically multiplying side lengths to solve real-world problems. Students move from concrete measurement to representational grid work and abstract formula application.
A targeted intervention sequence focused on developing conceptual understanding and procedural fluency with the area formula for rectangles. This sequence bridges the gap between counting unit squares and multiplying side lengths to solve real-world problems.
A Grade 3 intervention sequence focused on foundational area measurement concepts through hands-on tiling with standard and improvised units. Students move from concrete counting to understanding area as covering space without gaps or overlaps.
A targeted intervention sequence focused on understanding the concept of area through unit squares, comparing different sizes of units, and applying these concepts to measure rectangles without gaps or overlaps.
A Tier 2 intervention unit focused on uncovering and explaining arithmetic patterns using properties of operations, specifically targeting even/odd relationships and decomposition strategies for Grade 3.
A specialized intervention sequence designed for small groups to master identifying and explaining arithmetic patterns in addition and multiplication tables using properties of operations.
A small group intervention sequence focused on Grade 3 data representation, specifically teaching students to use scales greater than one in bar and picture graphs through scaffolded practice.
A series of intervention lessons focused on foundational area concepts, starting with unit squares and the no-gaps-no-overlaps rule.
A Tier 2 intervention sequence focused on Grade 3 time measurement, including reading analog clocks to the nearest minute and calculating elapsed time using number line strategies.
A specialized intervention sequence focused on mastering scaled bar graphs and using them to solve comparison problems for Grade 3 students.
