RTI: Math Block

3/31/2014

0 Comments

 
RTI, Response To Intervention, is an essential component in the kindergarten classroom of the 21st century.  Children walk into the classroom with an array of school readiness skills, and teachers need to have a plan to be able to meet diverse student needs.  For example, some children are eager and ready for story comprehension questions, while others have difficulty just sitting through the story.  Some children are ready to skip count by 10s, while others are just learning to identify numbers 1-10. Teachers don't want to put one group on hold while they catch up the other and they don't want behavior issues to arise as they challenge a select few.  RTI is the answer, but it requires thorough planning and grade level buy-in.

This is the form we use to make our RTI groups.  We go through many versions of this form throughout the school year.  Our goal is always to move students out of the "intensive" and "intervention" group and into "grade level" or "enrichment."

                                         ACADEMIC FOCUS: Counting & Cardinality
In order to establish groups and manage them effectively we utilize the 7 Steps of Data Analysis throughout the school year.  We feel our students are ready to participate in our RTI rotation the second semester of kindergarten.  This is mostly due to exposure and maturity. Below you will see the 3rd math assessment we use for screening purposes (pretest/post test).  Since our groups are "fluid," this kind of screening confirms correct placement and adjustments are made as needed.  Check out the assessment we are using this month (CCSS aligned):http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Math-Assessment-Numbers-to-30-1190082

                                                             SKIP COUNTING
These four photos show what our "enrichment" group worked on during RTI last week.  Although money is not a kindergarten standard, skip counting is and that was the focus of this lesson (skip counting by 10s was the focus the previous week).

                                                          PARENT INVOLVEMENT
I should mention that notes go home for students in either "enrichment" group or "intervention" group.  Both of these groups receive math homework that is leveled to meet their needs. Students that work below grade level, the "intervention" group, are expected to complete extra math homework over the weekend. We explain to the families that the classroom practice is not sufficient for their child and that additional practice time is essential.
