Our Mathematics Bridges Program at Swansfield

Our Philosophy of Intervention  Students have been chosen based on need: basic* students and low proficient.  Groupings based on grade level & area of need.  Pre/Post Test Model.  Follow pace of intervention, not pace of mathematics class  Frequent monitoring of student understanding.  Students have been chosen based on need: basic* students and low proficient.  Groupings based on grade level & area of need.  Pre/Post Test Model.  Follow pace of intervention, not pace of mathematics class  Frequent monitoring of student understanding.

Instructional Strategies Used  Cooperative Learning  Think Alouds  Literature/Math/Real World Connections  Scaffolding  Explicit Instruction  Gradual Release  Meaningful Practice  Differentiation

Scaffolded Content  Organized into manageable chunks.  Lessons are explicit and focused.  Carefully sequenced  Organized into manageable chunks.  Lessons are explicit and focused.  Carefully sequenced

Explicit Instruction  Step by Step lessons  Help Students Develop Understanding  Learn Skills  See Relationships  Make Connections  Step by Step lessons  Help Students Develop Understanding  Learn Skills  See Relationships  Make Connections

Multiple Strategies  Manipulatives  Games  Children’s Literature  Contexts that make math ideas accessible  Manipulatives  Games  Children’s Literature  Contexts that make math ideas accessible

Gradual Release  Phase 1 - Teacher models and records the mathematic representation on the board.  Phase 2 - Teacher models again, eliciting responses from students, and again records on board.  Phase 3 - Students work in pairs to do the mathematics and then the teacher, once again, records on the board.  Phase 4 - Students work independently, monitored and supported by the teacher.  Phase 1 - Teacher models and records the mathematic representation on the board.  Phase 2 - Teacher models again, eliciting responses from students, and again records on board.  Phase 3 - Students work in pairs to do the mathematics and then the teacher, once again, records on the board.  Phase 4 - Students work independently, monitored and supported by the teacher.

Until Further Notice  All grades will administer Addition/Subtraction Module B pre-assessment.  Students that score below 80% should work on Addition/Subtraction Module B during instruction.  Please start from the Lesson 1 – Combine lessons or Jazz them up, but do not skip lessons.  Students that score above 80% should work on Module C pre-assessment.  Students that score below 80% should work on Addition/Subtraction Module C during instruction.  Please start from the Lesson 1 – Combine lessons or Jazz them up, but do not skip lessons  Students that score above 80% should work on Multiplication Module A pre-assessment.  All grades will administer Addition/Subtraction Module B pre-assessment.  Students that score below 80% should work on Addition/Subtraction Module B during instruction.  Please start from the Lesson 1 – Combine lessons or Jazz them up, but do not skip lessons.  Students that score above 80% should work on Module C pre-assessment.  Students that score below 80% should work on Addition/Subtraction Module C during instruction.  Please start from the Lesson 1 – Combine lessons or Jazz them up, but do not skip lessons  Students that score above 80% should work on Multiplication Module A pre-assessment.

Questions/Concerns?!  How did you Jazz it Up last year?  Ideas...  Read Alouds  Games/Centers focused on that Lessons topic  Students create stories, powerpoints, videos, etc… to display learning  Discovery Streaming – videos, clips, etc…  How did you Jazz it Up last year?  Ideas...  Read Alouds  Games/Centers focused on that Lessons topic  Students create stories, powerpoints, videos, etc… to display learning  Discovery Streaming – videos, clips, etc…

Bridges & Basic Facts  30 minutes in the AM dedicated to facts  15 minutes = instruction  15 minutes = practice/games  Students will be grouped by facts (+,-,x,÷) not grade level  Data from math class diagnostic (Week of Sept. 13)  30 minutes in the AM dedicated to facts  15 minutes = instruction  15 minutes = practice/games  Students will be grouped by facts (+,-,x,÷) not grade level  Data from math class diagnostic (Week of Sept. 13)

Strategies are Still the Key  Fact Families  +,- 2  Make 10  Five facts  X3  X 9  Fact Families  +,- 2  Make 10  Five facts  X3  X 9
