What is a Math Intervention Kit?

An intervention kit is intended to be used for small group or one on one instruction. The kit consists of multiple activities that cover kindergarten math concepts and can be differentiated to fit the needs of all your students. Each activity is created to target a specific skill so you can close those gaps and keep your students progressing along in math.

Each game fits in a large photo and craft storage box, so it makes organization easy! Just grab the labeled box you need for each group and go. The bin holds 16 interventions so you can switch them out based on the changing needs of your students.

Teachers love using the intervention kit to supplement their kindergarten math curriculum because it’s low-prep, hands-on learning, and covers tons of skills. Here’s what they have to say:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Another great Simply Kinder resource! Love the size of the cards, the ideas for storing and the simple, sensible clip art with both black and white options and color. Great for math centers!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Another wonderful resource to use with my intervention groups. So many skills in just one place.”

How To Use for Small Groups:

Whether you are working on interventions with small groups or one-on-one, it’s important to remember that your other students will be working on different assignments at the same time. It’s a great idea to have a solid plan in place for your current small group and the rest of the class at the same time. Here are some tips to make that happen:

1. Intentional Grouping

We like to use intentional grouping for our centers, small groups, and intervention time. This means that we are not just leveling students off and assuming those students all need to work on the same skills. We use our data to drive our groups and they are dynamic week to week and even day to day. We pull students into our small groups or interventions that need a specific skill.

The beauty of our Kindergarten Intervention Math Kit is that you can quickly pull a number game for one small group and and then shift super quick to an addition group.

2. Model Expectations

Students learn best by example, and knowing expectations ahead of time sets them up for success. Therefore, modeling your expectations during a lesson helps your students best understand what you want from them. This will also help to reduce wasted time during these quick lessons. 

3. Use the “I Do, We Do, You Do” Model

To prepare for small group intervention, start by explaining the directions of each activity to the group. Then show the students how to do the activity. For example, “I Do” for the shape sort would be to place the category at the top of the table, shuffle all the shape cards, and then put them under the correct title. Then invite the students to do it as a group for “we do” while helping them as needed. Finally, have each student take a turn individually for the “you do” portion, and to track their understanding.

4. Use Manipulatives

The use of manipulatives is a great way to keep your students engaged in your lessons. These manipulatives will help bridge the connection between tangible objects to their conceptual thinking. Clothespins, mini erasers, dice, and colored counters will all be perfect for these math activities. Check out this article, Must-Have Manipulatives, for more ideas!

5. Repetition, Repetition, Repetition!

The more familiar students become with concepts, the quicker they build their foundational knowledge. Practice the same games multiple times in each group, and carry the skills through to other whole group lessons.
