This video demonstrates two addition problem structures that students must understand to master basic facts. Each problem structure has three numbers, with one number missing.
This video demonstrates two subtraction problem structures that students must understand to master basic facts. Each problem structure has three numbers, with one number missing.
In Module 3 of the Intensive Intervention in Mathematics Course Content we emphasize the necessity for using evidence-based interventions or strategies as the starting point of instruction within intensive intervention. In this module, educators will learn about: (1) The umbrella term of evidence-based practices and different types of evidence-based practices; (2) Where to locate evidence-based practices; (3) How to design the instructional platform for use within intensive intervention.
This video demonstrates how to use fraction tiles to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions. As students practice this process with fraction tiles, they will also gain fluency with determining different fractions that are equivalent to 1.

This video demonstrates how to use benchmark fractions, such as ½, to compare fractions with unlike denominators. When students show that they are proficient comparing fractions using concrete manipulatives or pictorial representations, they may be ready to compare fractions using reasoning strategies without representations. For beginners and for students who struggle, it may also be important for teachers to model to students how to check their work using other tools, such as fraction tiles.
This video demonstrates how students can practice determining equivalent fractions with different denominators using fraction circles. Students can explore this concept by comparing different representations of the same value against a whole fraction circle. After students have found one representation of the same fraction (3/6), teachers can encourage students to find another representation (4/8). Teachers can then ask students to discuss the patterns that they see in the different representations of the same value.
This video demonstrates how students can practice finding equivalent fractions with different denominators using fraction tiles. Students can explore this concept by stacking fraction tiles to determine the multiple representations of the same value, such as 1/2. Once students have found one representation of the same fraction (4/8), teachers can encourage students to find another representation (3/6). Teachers can then ask students to discuss the patterns that they see in the different representations of the same value.
This video shows how to use the set model to represent the fraction 3/4 with two-colored counting chips and clips. Individual chips within the set, represent the fractional parts. It is important that students be exposed to the set model because fractions in real-world settings are often represented this way.
