Designing Effective Math Interventions

This guide is written for teachers and others who design math support for students who have fallen behind. Jessica H. Hunt shows how to build interventions around the ideas students bring to the table. Readers learn to arrange lessons so that every learner takes part and actually understands the material, to plan focused tasks that match specific needs, and to draw out and respond to students' reasoning.

The book also explains how to create tools for evaluating student work, with the goal of measuring whether learning has happened rather than only whether a答案 is correct. Its chapters are organized around the questions educators most often struggle with when designing interventions. For each one, the author offers research-based, evidence-supported strategies, presented in a clear and approachable way, to help readers get past common obstacles.

The book is intended for anyone seeking an adaptive approach to Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions, one that treats struggling students as capable thinkers.
