Assisting Students Struggling with Mathematics: Response to Intervention (RtI) for Elementary and Middle Schools.
8 Recommendations
Screen all students to identify those at risk for potential mathematics difficulties and provide interventions to students identified as at risk.
Instructional materials for students receiving interventions should focus intensely on in-depth treatment of whole numbers in kindergarten through grade 5 and on rational numbers in grades 4 through 8.
Instruction during the intervention should be explicit and systematic. This includes providing models of proficient problem solving, verbalization of thought processes, guided practice, corrective feedback, and frequent cumulative review.
Interventions should include instruction on solving word problems that is based on common underlying structures.
Intervention materials should include opportunities for students to work with visual representations of mathematical ideas and interventionists should be proficient in the use of visual representations of mathematical ideas.
Interventions at all grade levels should devote about 10 minutes in each session to building fluent retrieval of basic arithmetic facts.
Monitor the progress of students receiving supplemental instruction and other students who are at risk.
Include motivational strategies in tier 2 and tier 3 interventions.

Best Practices in Online Math and Reading Instruction
Three strategies to consider for online math instruction at the elementary, middle, and high school levels include: synchronous discussions, instructional games and videos, self-reflection activities.
Online synchronous discussions about problem-solving and other math concepts successfully increase students’ math performance.
Online instructional games and videos offer interactive learning tools with positive impacts on student learning, particularly when such activities incorporate certain design features and teachers use them appropriately.
Students benefit from self-reflection regarding math concepts and individual understanding.
