FastBridge has organized its guidance and resources for mathematics instruction and intervention into the seven domains shown below, covering Foundational, Applied, or Advanced skills. The interventions are included as part of the Instruction Plans in the Screening to Intervention Report for Math (s2i-M). There are both whole- and small-group lesson materials available in the Training and Resources section of the FastBridge website. Each intervention includes eight sections and users are encouraged to examine all the sections of an intervention prior to using it with students. This article provides information about Measurement interventions.
Measurement includes determining the size, length, or amount of something. Measurement proficiency includes automaticity and fluency in using a variety of tools to calculate values for:
- Time
- Money
- Area
- Volume
Measurement is one of two applied skill areas necessary for math proficiency. Additional information about how best to teach Measurement as part of a comprehensive mathematics curriculum is found in the free practice guides:
Teaching Math to Young Children
Improving Mathematical Problem-Solving in Grades 4 through 8
The FastBridge Screening to Intervention Report for Math (s2i-M) provides the best guidance for which interventions to use with whole classes as well as small groups. Go to the Training & Resources tab and select Measurement. The available FastBridge Measurement interventions include the following:
- Basic Money Constant Time Delay
- Basic Money Incremental Rehearsal
- Basic Time Its a Match
