Mathematics Strategies for Tier 1 and Tier 2 Interventions in a PLC at Work®: (Develop your students' grade-level mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills.)

by Sarah Schuhl, Mona Toncheff, Jennifer Deinhart, Brian Buckhalter

Overview

Discover how your collaborative team can ensure all students learn grade-level mathematics during Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction. This valuable guide provides preK–12 teachers with ready-to-use tools and strategies to help students communicate using mathematical language and develop number sense, conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, mathematical reasoning, problem solving, and more.

PreK–12 educators can use this book to:

• Collaborate with teams to build a shared understanding of essential mathematics standards
• Ensure students learn grade-level mathematics during Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction
• Learn how to help students make connections to prior learning and why that matters
• Create opportunities for students to reason through problems with their peers
• Develop students’ number sense, procedural fluency, and other key mathematics skills

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Never before have the theoretical complexities of Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions been so seamlessly merged with the practicality of the classroom, so teachers have the power to influence the trajectory of students’ lives. Math Strategies for Tier 1 and Tier 2 Interventions in a PLC at Work provides grade-level breakdown of standards; guiding questions; prompts; procedural, conceptual, and application examples; and even visuals for classroom arrangements most conducive to student discourse so educators can immediately take action for student success.”

—Sean Nank, mathematics and science educator, California State University San Marcos, California

“Mathematics Strategies for Tier 1 and Tier 2 Interventions in a PLC at Work provides strategies for developing collaborative learning environments and productive interventions, addressing the critical need for strong core instruction and effective support systems. By focusing on reasoning, problem solving, and discourse, it empowers students to not only meet but exceed grade-level expectations. This book is a must-read for any educator dedicated to fostering in students a deep, enduring understanding of mathematics.”

—Dr. Katey Arrington, president, NCSM: Leadership in Mathematics Education; director of systemic transformation, Charles A. Dana Center, The University of Texas at Austin

“In this valuable resource, the authors cross over from the nice-to-have side to the must-have side of mathematics interventions using research-affirmed, practical strategies that breathe life into intervention as an integrated aspect of our daily teacher actions for student engagement and learning. It provides a road map to grade-level learning for all students!”

—Dr. Timothy D. Kanold, founder and lead author of Mathematics in a PLC at Work

“In Mathematics Strategies for Tier 1 and Tier 2 Interventions in a PLC at Work, the authors provide a powerful tapestry of the PLC and RTI at Work principles with clearly articulated best first instructional practices in mathematics that include templates, flow charts, and numerous examples of what educators need to do to ensure students learn essential grade-level mathematics, even if they begin the year below grade level.”

—Dr. Luis F. Cruz, education expert and best-selling author
