CLOSING THE DISTANCE
A review that actually reviews!Looking for an intervention resource that has more substance than a collection of practice problems? Looking to have your students talk about the mathematics they know and that they need to remember? This resource is for you! Each of the ten 5 E sequences of activities is designed to get your students thinking and talking while self-assessing and reflecting on their understanding. Each 5 E sequence includes a preassessment and small-group intervention frameworks so that you and your students can gauge what mathematics needs a refresh.
Available in for grades 2–8 and Algebra I and in Spanish for grade 5, with grades 3 and 4 coming soon. English: $50 per grade level. / Spanish: $75 per grade level.

ACCELERATED INTERVENTION, ALGEBRA I
When time is short and needs are great, this resource provides focused acceleration of learning and relearning.
How do we reteach students who have already experienced all the interventions we have to offer? How do we focus learning on targeted areas of need when students have already received instruction? We take a deeper dive into the mathematics with a narrower focus. Each module in this series has three lessons that offer these deep dives. Each module also has a fourth lesson that brings understanding to the surface by connecting the mathematics learned and relearned in the first three lessons. Available in four modules. $25 per module.

STAAR® REVIEW TO GO
A set of student-centered, engaging, review activities. Just say “yes” to riveting, rigorous review! This is STAAR review in a nutshell – or in this case, a folder.
Saying “Yes!” means students will race to review because these activities involve engaging brain exercise, deep dive discussion, and hands-on hustle as students work to fine tune their knowledge and show off what they have learned. Stop using released items as content review. Each folder activity includes content review, a literacy component, and a sample test item at the rigor of STAAR. Folders are designed so students can check their own work to monitor their understanding. Volume 2 books consist of entirely different TEKS than Volume 1. Available for grades 4, 5, 8, and biology. Available in Spanish for grade 5. $75 per grade level. ORDER ONLINE | Download samples
