To start K 5 students on a path to being college and career ready, teachers and teacher leaders must ensure they are mathematically literate. Strategies for Mathematics Instruction and Intervention, K 5 shows mathematics educators how to build a solid mathematics program by emphasizing prioritized learning goals and integrating response to intervention (RTI) into the curriculum. Authors Chris Weber and Darlene Crane frame mathematics education within an RTI model to effectively equip teachers with the instruction, assessment, and intervention strategies necessary to meet students' complex, diverse needs and ensure their continued growth in critical thinking and problem solving. Based on the premise that for students to develop a deep, conceptual understanding of mathematics there must be greater focus on fewer standards, this book shows readers how to (1) prioritize standards for specific grade levels, (2) organize standards into big ideas, (3) unwrap standards into discrete learning.
