How to Design and Deliver Effective Math Intervention
In this webinar, we’ll focus on five essential components of math intervention. We’ll review and provide examples of ways to boost your delivery of math instruction by using explicit instruction, clear and concise language, and multiple representations. Then, we’ll describe the importance of providing daily fluency practice and word-problem instruction. By the end of the webinar, you’ll have the knowledge to design and deliver effective math instruction immediately!
By the end of the webinar, you’ll be able to:
- Describe five essential components of math intervention
- Implement strategies and tactics to fine-tune your delivery of math instruction
- Understand the importance of daily fluency practice and word-problem instruction
