Math Reasoning Interventions
From: Word Problem-Solving Instruction in Inclusive Third-Grade Mathematics Classrooms, Cynthia C. Griffin and Asha K Jitendra:
"Instructional strategies that researchers have found to be consistently effective for teaching students who experience learning difficulties in mathematics include depicting problems visually and graphically, teaching math concepts and principles by using explicit instruction, and using peer-assisted learning activities during mathematics instruction"

This curated list of interventions has been compiled from a variety of sources including: University of Missouri EBI, Intervention Central, fcrr.org, and Reading Rockets. This is by no means an all inclusive list and there may be many you prefer over the ones cited here. If so, let us know so we can include your favorites too! The interventions on this page are evidence based and require few if any additional materials. Many can be adapted for use at different grade levels and are generally listed in order of complexity and skill level.
