RTI Math

Who doesn't love a good buzzword? Well, "response to intervention" is even more fun because it's a buzzphrase. If you're here, you probably know what it is, but just in case, here's the gist: teach well, assess students early and often, and provide intervention for the ones who are struggling.

Sounds good to us.

Let's Conquer Math is an RTI product allows teachers to assess students' mastery of sixth through eighth grade math concepts and provides direct (and fun!) intervention to support growth and mastery.

1. Teach well.

Yeah, that's mostly on you. But—look!—we have Online Courses and Teaching Guides to help you out.

2. Assess students early and often.

This ain't a one-and-done diagnostic we've got going on in Let's Conquer Math. You can assign benchmark diagnostics for students to complete as frequently as you like. Forever. Yep, we have an infinite number of problems, so you'll never run out.

The adaptive diagnostic will adjust to the students' level as they progress through questions, and when they're done, you can assess their skills and competencies with detailed progress reports of how students are doing, where they're at, and where they're going. You can view individual progress reports on students' mastery levels in each Common Core standard as well as their estimated grade levels, or receive classroom reports on the mastery levels of all your students in one quick, easy-to-scan view.

Oh, and administrators get a bird's-eye view of school and district performance, as well as classroom growth over time.

3. Provide intervention for the ones who are struggling.

We provide targeted, Standards-aligned practice to help students improve in the areas they struggle most. (Or in the areas they rock at. Whatever floats your boat.)

Problem sets may be taken over and over, and provide detailed, engaging answer explanations that get to the heart of each question. Plus, we have thousands of videos for the more visual learners.

4. Rinse and Repeat.

Easily keep track of students' growth by assigning the adaptive benchmark assessment multiple times throughout the year. It enables you to clearly see how your students have improved with every passing month. Or the second, if you're an obsessive progress refresher.
