RTI Math Interventions, Resources, and Programs
This website is designed to provide FREE Response to Intervention (RTI) / (MTSS) math interventions and resources for tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3. The goal is to find as many free or partially free research based programs, resources, and materials as possible. It is very hard to find resources online, so I tried to save people some time by putting all of this together.
I looked for programs that included assessments, progress monitoring, individualized instruction, materials, online tools, and best practices. Many of these programs, resources, and websites can be used with small group, whole group, or individual students. I hope you enjoy using, this website and please add it to your list of math intervention websites. If you come across a great resource please let me know about it. I enjoy hearing your feedback. Have a great 2022 / 2023 school year!
Thank you

Primary Numeracy Intervention Program K-3
The Primary Numeracy Intervention Program (K-3) provides an RTI / MTSS math intervention assessment system that is free. This is one of the few math intervention programs that includes a one on one diagnostic assessment that will provide you with an instructional level for each area that the student is tested. It is nice that it is an actual program that is taught instead of a computer to child type intervention.
The program provides free assessments, a leveled activities guide, framework, lessons plan template, workbook, and several printable resources that are available for instruction. The program even includes a starter library for your lessons and a training webinar. There are additional lesson libraries that you can purchase, but the assessment system, framework, activities guide, and printable learning materials are completely free and it gives you lots of resources. The website also has a games page that can be very helpful.
This is a very in-depth and intense (K-3) intervention program that provides supports for RTI tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3. You will need to watch the training webinar in order to understand how to use all of the pieces the program has to offer. This program has parallels with the systematic teaching of phonics. They also offer additional trainings that you can sign up for.

ICT games is more of an online resource than a math intervention program. It provides countless resources for intervention and special education. However, it is not the typical "math games" website. You cannot just assign the game and walk away. Most of the games are designed for the teacher to do along side with the student. A teacher could use the resources and games as a lesson and some of the games and activities can be at a very high level of thinking. This can be used for tier 2 and tier 3 activities.
The games and activities can be used on any tablet or desktop. Here you will find free educational games aimed at children between 5 and 8 years old. The games are linked to the UK KS 1 and 2 curricula and the K-2 curriculum in the US.

Freckle is offered to teachers for free, but the School Edition upgrade offers unlimited access to assignments, lessons, reports, and targeted benchmark assessments.

EASY-CBM is a partially free math intervention management resource for math. There is a reading component as well, but we will focus on math. It has both a lite and deluxe version. The lite version is free but does not offer the full scale of resources that the paid deluxe version does. It is designed to give teachers insight into which of their students may need additional instructional supports as well as to provide a means by which they can measure the effectiveness of their teaching.
The best way to familiarize yourself with this program/ management system is to sign up and "click" around to see if this type of resource that you are looking for. The lite version can be useful for tracking student data.

Multiplication.com
Math Playground.com
Math Playground.com
Multiplication.com is exactly what it says. It works on multiplication and division facts. Multiplication.com practices math facts through a variety of games. However the games are all very similar and work on the memorization of math facts.
The best part of multiplication.com is the auto scoring assessments. You can use these tests as both an assessment and practice for your students. This website runs a lot of ads, so sometimes it can run slow on certain devices because there are so many ads running at one time.
Again, if you are looking for an online practice for math facts, multiplication.com provide a lot of interactive ways for your students to practice their facts.
