Skill Focus Helps Struggling Learners Access Grade-Level Math
Illustrative Mathematics® provides a high-quality, problem-based curriculum, but for students who are already behind, it’s not always enough.
That’s where Skill Focus comes in.
Skill Focus bridges the gap between the ideal of problem-based instruction and the reality of diverse classrooms. It gives teachers the structure they need to reach students who need more support, without sacrificing grade-level content.
We help teachers identify the single most important concept in each lesson and build instruction around it using clear modeling, explanations, guided practice, and scaffolds.
