Description of artifact and how the artifact meets the standard:
This artifact is our Math Intervention Groups. It provides an analysis of student learning and growth based on teacher
created test and authentic measures as well as standardized and district wide tests. Each morning we have a set
intervention time where students change classrooms based on level and need in their math facts, strategies, and skills.
We use the same assessment for each student, and based on the score we place them in an appropriate level for their
math needs.
Reflection on artifact (what went right, what went wrong, how to make better)
Our Math Intervention groups are a great way to make sure our students receive the opportunity to enhance their math
skills to a higher level, or to be retaught 3rd grade math skills and facts. To group our students into appropriate leveled
groups, each student takes the same teacher-created assessment. We use their scores to level all the students into
classrooms based on their math needs. We use our Intervention time to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division facts to make sure our students have mastered these skills. Based on the group, we may review math skills
currently being taught in the math classroom such as rounding, problem solving, fractions, area, perimeter, and shapes.
Higher groups will be challenged in the same skills, but at a higher demand. We are going to continue to group our
students into leveled groups based on students needs. Our 3 rd grade team will also continue to use researched based
strategies during our Intervention time to enhance student learning.
