For 4th graders, we will:
focus instructional efforts in intervention first on the Numbers & Operations domain
use the iReady Diagnostic's Numbers & Operations (NO) domain score to determine which topic intervention will focus on first:
If N.O. score is at Grade K or 1, begin with "Foundational Number Ideas to 20" below.
Students scoring in Grade K will need concrete examples using manipulatives and visuals to help bridge their access to this content
If N.O. score is at Grade 2, begin with "Multi-Digit Whole Number Addition & Subtraction and Word Problems" below.
utilize the topic's progression in conjunction with iReady reports and classroom data to determine best entry point
Fractions Note: In 4th grade, it would be appropriate to shift intervention efforts towards pre-teaching of and/or scaffolding during the Fractions unit(s), but not to exceed 6 total weeks (Max two weeks prior and max four weeks of the unit).
Major topics for intervention are listed below in the shaded section bars. Under each topic are the standards clusters associated for that content. Click the drop downs to find the standards under that cluster and the related Tools for Instruction. Use your student data and the progression of the standards to target the best starting place for the group of students you have for math intervention.
