Description

A Tier 2 preventative early numeracy intervention focused on number and operation ideas, including counting, number relationships, part-whole and place-value work, and addition/subtraction strategies. The article states "Tutoring sessions occurred 4 days per week for 25 min per session across 19 weeks (total of 1,900 min and 76 sessions)" in small groups of three to five students. Instruction used 11 units of 8 days, each day with a 3-minute warm-up and two 10-minute scripted lessons, with concrete and visual representations and daily progress monitoring.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Trained tutors who received a 3-hr initial training, practice lessons with feedback, and training sessions before each of the seven intervention units
• Small groups of three to five students formed from beginning-of-year TEMI-PM scores

Constraints

• The intervention was implemented by trained research staff on a pullout basis, which the authors name as a limitation; studies with general education teachers and interventionists are still needed

Target Learners

• first-grade students with mathematics difficulties at risk per TEMI-PM screening

Learning Goals

• early numeracy concepts and skills: counting, number recognition, comparing and sequencing numbers, place value, and addition/subtraction combinations

Claims

• Tier2 Early Numeracy Intervention Temi Pm Total Gain [+M]
• Temi O Computation Gain Sat10 Mp Marginal [+M]
