Material Detail

This guide explains a practical approach to identifying prerequisite mathematics skill gaps in students in Grades 3–8.

It focuses on the instructional problem that occurs when a student struggles with current grade-level math but the visible difficulty may not be the actual source of the problem. The guide outlines how educators can begin with the current learning target, identify the most likely prerequisite breakdown, verify that gap with focused examples, address the smallest necessary skill, and return the student to grade-level work.

The resource is intended for classroom teachers, interventionists, resource teachers, MTSS/RTI teams, math specialists, and other educators supporting students with unfinished learning.
