10 Must-See Websites to Support Math Intervention

I've received so many great comments regarding my post from last year, 10 Must-See Website for Reading Intervention, and one of the most common ones has been whether I know of any sites to build math skills and support math intervention.

Math Websites for Intervention Support

As you know, I firmly believe it is important to target specific gaps when planning interventions. So today I am going to share 10 great websites to support your math intervention efforts related to these gaps.

There are a ton of free (or low-cost) resources here including targeted lessons for specific math skills, assessment/progress monitoring tools, and both online and printable intervention supports.

I've also created a Digital Resource Guide to help you keep the information you'll find below at your fingertips. Just click the button to access it now.

Xtramath.org

A quick and easy intervention for math fact fluency. The site includes great data and offers supports for struggling learners.

Students work to quickly answer basic computation and build fluency and accuracy. If it takes a student too long to answer, the program gives them a visual cue with the answer, but they still have to enter it. Over time the program rotates through the problems the student has yet to master, working them toward fluency.

Freckle

This site offers a free teacher account and is great for those students who need a Tier 1 reteach and extra guided practice and support. The program begins with a diagnostic assessment, which helps you identify gaps and targets for support.

With built-in assessment and differentiation, the program monitors how students progress. It also gives modeling and visuals for problem-solving. This is great for those students who are struggling with a specific concept or just-below grade-level standard. Plus it works on tablets!

There is also K-2 friendly lessons and resources on this site, which isn't always the case with math intervention sites.

Mathematical Reasoning Inventory

Need to dig in and identify those gaps? This free tool from math guru Marilyn Burns is just the thing you need. With a free teacher

With a free teacher account, you can have up to 160 kids in the system. The focus of this assessment is an interview style format that lets you observe to identify misconceptions and thinking strategies.

Interventions for Math Difficulties

Looking for intervention strategies to use when working one-on-one or in a small group on a specific skill gap? Look no further. These research-based interventions are all clearly outlined to make intervention easier!

Think Through Math

This site is free for Texans, but it might have a cost if you are from another state. However, it is well worth it in my mind. The students work on their personalized pathway and can test out of lessons that they have already mastered.

There are great, tangible rewards that kids can work together to achieve (like a free pizza party) and cool things to purchase to personalize their avatar. Live teachers are available to support students in walking through challenging problems and help ensure learning is progressing.

While this site isn't perfect for everyone, like TenMarks, it is definitely a great fit for those students who are struggling with on or just-below grade level standards.

Intervention Central

Focused on providing teachers the strategies that are research-based for intervention, Intervention Central is an amazing resource.

Unlike some of the other sites I am listing, this one will take you a bit more time to read and process, but it outlines all the steps for some strong, research-based intervention strategies, along with citations so you can read the original study (if that is your thing).

Tier 1 Strategies for Math

This site by intervention guru Jim Wright is perfect for helping guide systemic math interventions at Tier 1. Each intervention is set up as a quick read and can be implemented at Tier 1 with little extra stress.

EasyCBM

This site has a great assortment of CBM probes for progress monitoring in both reading and math. There is a lite version that is free (which is definitely the way to go). It has probes for specific content areas or for general skill gaps, and sign up takes less than 5 minutes. Perfect for the busy classroom teacher to collect data for SST.

DreamBox Learning

Students struggling to move from concrete to abstract? This is not all that uncommon for struggling mathematicians. These digital manipulative teacher tools can be the perfect fit for small groups requiring additional practice and modeling.
