New Resources & Updates... Intervention Central brings you these new and updated resources for school-based assessment and intervention...

[1 Jan 08] Numberfly: Create CBM Early Math Fluency Probes. Recent research suggests that young students who have a strong 'number sense' as they enter public school are likely to achieve later success as they learn more advanced math concepts. Numberfly is a free application that allows educators to create Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) progress-monitoring probes of 3 types that assess students' developing numeracy skills: Quantity Discrimination, Missing Number, and Number Identification. This application also includes instructions for administering and scoring these early math assessments, as well as suggestions for using Early Math Fluency Probes in a school-wide RTI Universal Screening.

[1 Jan 08] Interventions to Go: Math. We have added a page of brief, teacher-friendly math strategies to our 'Interventions to Go' series. Mathematics instruction is a lengthy, incremental process that spans all grade levels. check out these wide-ranging classroom (Tier I RTI) ideas for math interventions that target both the primary and secondary grades.

[1 Jan 08] Math Intervention Scripts. Here are four new scripted math interventions that teachers can use immediately! Three target fluency with math facts, and one is designed to boost comprehension of advanced math graphics.

Math Computation: Incremental Rehearsal. Help students to learn their math facts with this simple but novel review technique that uses flashcards.

Math Computation: Problem Interspersal. Increase student motivation and accuracy by intermixing easy with challenging math computation problems.

Math Computation: Self-Monitoring & Performance Feedback. Have students complete timed math worksheets, chart their results, and earn incentives for beating their previous score of correct digits. This intervention is efficient to carry out and builds student motivation and fluency in math facts.

Applied Problems: QARs and Math Graphics. Teach students trying to interpret math graphics to use a reading comprehension strategy. Math graphics such as charts and graphs can be confusing for students to analyze. Teaching them to use Question-Answer Relationships (QARs) can improve their performance on applied math problems.


[1 Jan 08] The Best of the Web: Cognitive Strategy Instruction. This website presents a series of interventions in which students are taught thinking strategies that they can use to perform better in reading, mathematics, writing, studying, and other areas. The site was created by Dr. Bob Reid and Torri Lienemann, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
