INTERVENTION MATHS PROGRAM BUNDLE - IMPs Year 2 to Year 5 - Screeners Incl.

This bundle includes 4 programs which target skill deficits from Year 2 to Year 5 in Number, Place Value, Patterns, Algebra and Decimals. See the PREVIEW for more detail on the contents of each program. ACARA References are provided for Australian teachers if needed. The screeners I have included will identify skill sets and facilitate differentiation.

• Year 2 Intervention Mathematics Program (IMP 2 - 93 pages) with separate Answer Book (92 pages)
• Year 3 Intervention Mathematics Program (IMP 3 - 84 pages) with separate Answer Book (86 pages)
• Year 4 Intervention Mathematics Program (IMP 4 - 77 pages) with separate Answer Book (76 pages)
• Year 5 Intervention Mathematics Program (IMP 5 - 88 pages) with separate Answer Book (86 pages)
• Screeners Years 2-5

This is the program I wished I had many years ago when my classroom had 26 students across all primary grades. Time was very precious. However, in any classroom there is the need to differentiate and this program will save teachers time. The screeners included can be administered to the whole class as pre-tests and post-tests to evaluate the program's effectiveness.

The PREVIEW with each program lists all the CONTENTS and gives you an idea of the organisation and the kinds of resources included. The Answer Books include answers to all questions and also provide extra ideas when concept development is the target. It lists games and links for consolidation.

I would give this program to a teaching assistant once skill targets and individuals or groups have been identified. The teaching assistant would have the ANSWER BOOK to REMEDIATE in real time and consolidate in REAL TIME. Students will progress quickly because skill deficits are targeted directly and no time is wasted. Consolidate with games and include these in the regular classroom environment where your intervention group can teach the others. This is an ideal way to be inclusive and to generalise skills. The Task Cards in each program can be used in Intervention or they can be added to a Maths Centre, depending on the level of skill development across the class. The 100 Task Cards included with the Year 2 Program are additional and provide consolidation of the maths language that accompanies the various operations. I have found that the 'language of maths' can be an obstacle for some students, despite their proficiency with numbers.

I recommend games because I use them all the time in my intervention sessions and I know they work. The repetition of playing a game leads to mastery. The trick is to match the game to the skill deficit so your students progress. All the links are given in the program to help you do just that. Computer games have a place but they do not provide the social skill opportunities needed at this young age.
