Aligning Math Intervention with
the RtI Framework in an
Elementary setting
Purpose: Provide an overview of Menomonee Falls’ math intervention practices including creating data walls, using decision rules, progress monitoring, and the RtI framework
Presentation at a glance • Our background: Where did we come from?
▫ Shifting to standards based instruction, creating a math team
• What do we have in place: Where are we now? ▫ New math resource, teachers equipped for tier two
interventions, building math interventionists, district math coach
• Our vision for the future: Where do we want to go? ▫ Meeting the needs of all students using a
systematic approach, improving instructional aptitude
Everyday math, creating common assessments, the growing pains of training a district, facilitating a paradigm shift
Trials, Tribulations, and Growth
Implementing a new resource, using data to make decisions, intervening with intensive and selected students, using a team approach
The RtI Model The Wisconsin RtI Center www.wisconsinrticenter.org
First Steps: Menomonee Falls RtI Steering Committee started during 2010-11 school year
Process at a glance . . . Students take universal screener(s) and are placed on data wall
Tier One Receive core instruction in classroom. Differentiate based on needs.
Tier Two
Administer diagnostic Add+Vantage Math Recovery® assessments at requisite skills. Students work in small group with classroom teacher during math workshop 3 days per week, 15 minutes per day.
Tier Three
Administer diagnostic Math Recovery® assessments at requisite skills. Students work with Math Interventionists at least 4 days per week in groups no larger than three students. Progress monitoring done with AIMSweb (weekly), STAR (every six weeks). Progress discussed at CST or SST meetings.
***Note: students can also be considered to be in tier two or three due to high performance as well. Currently, we deal with these students on a case by case basis.
Data Walls and Decision Points
• Students identified by number, also codes for new students, ELL, special education services, support)
• Placement/movement occurs four times during the year:
▫ At the beginning of each school year
▫ At the end of each trimester
• Teachers complete this activity as a grade level, with discussions around students and instructional strategies
• Decision rules
▫ Performance on common assessments (work in progress)
▫ MAP scores (fall, winter, spring)
▫ Classroom performance
▫ AVMR assessments
• Placed into five categories
▫ Gifted/talented
▫ Extension
▫ Universal
▫ Selected
▫ Intensive
We have a data wall, now what?
G/T, extension, universal – Tier One
Selected (Tier Two) and Intensive (Tier Three)
• Receive tier one instruction in the whole group setting
• Differentiation based on grade level priority standards, problem solving, and assessment (MAP, WCKE) results
• Students are given AddVantage Math Recovery® assessment interviews to help guide instruction
• Working towards Tier Two interventions in the classroom (small group/3 days per week) with selected students
• Math Recovery® interventionist specialists work with Intensive students using pull out model – group size of three or less, at least 4 days per week
Process at a glance . . . Students take universal screener(s) and are placed on data wall
Tier One Receive core instruction in classroom. Differentiate based on needs.
Tier Two
Administer diagnostic Add+Vantage Math Recovery® assessments at requisite skills. Students work in small group with classroom teacher during math workshop 3 days per week.
Tier Three

Importance of solid, tier one
instruction with fidelity
• Piloted a variety of resources to find one that matched our interventions (Add+Vantage Math Recovery®, Math Recovery®), aligned to common core, and allowed for math workshop
• Without solid classroom instruction, the value of the interventions and data decreases and becomes segmented
• A paradigm shift in math instruction . . .
The need for solid, core instruction
(Tier One)
Jo Boaler – Stanford Graduate School of Education
Process at a glance . . .
Students take universal screener(s) and are placed on data wall
Tier One Receive core instruction in classroom. Differentiate based on needs.
Tier Two Administer diagnostic Add+Vantage Math Recovery® assessments at requisite skills. Students work in small group with classroom teacher during math workshop 3 days per week, 15 minutes per day.
Tier Three
Administer diagnostic Add+Vantage Math Recovery® and Math Recovery® assessments at requisite skills. Students work with Math Interventionists at least 4 days per week in groups no larger than three students. Progress monitoring done with AIMSweb (weekly), STAR (every six weeks). Progress discussed at CST or SST meetings.

Classroom interventions/Math
Workshop Progress Monitoring
Tier Two Intervention
• Teachers trained in Add+Vantage Math Recovery® (courses one and two)
• Teachers administer AVMR assessments in necessary skill areas (number words, add/sub, structuring, mult/div, place value) at beginning or year and at the end of each trimester
• Teacher works with small groups for 10 – 15 minutes at least three days per week
• Small group meetings are held during work center/station time of math workshop
• Movement to tier one and three is fluid, usually discussed during CST or SST meetings based on performance
