Math Support That Starts Where Your Child Actually Is

Assess & Identify

We begin by looking at your child’s current math skills and identifying areas of strength and need. Depending on the student, we may assess skills such as:

We may also use Acadience Math benchmark and progress-monitoring measures to help identify foundational skill gaps and track growth over time.

Build the Foundation

If foundational skills are not yet secure, instruction begins there.

A student working in third or fourth grade may still need explicit instruction in number sense, quantity, place value, or early computation before higher-level concepts will truly make sense. We meet students at their instructional level rather than simply assigning work based on their grade.

Instruction may include:

Develop Conceptual Understanding

Our goal is not just for students to memorize a procedure. We want them to understand why the math works.

Students build connections between each stage before being expected to complete increasingly abstract work independently:

When appropriate, EmpowerEd incorporates structured resources such as Math Mammoth alongside individualized instruction, manipulatives, games, and targeted skill practice.

Monitor Progress

Math instruction should change when the data tells us it needs to change.

We use ongoing observation, instructional data, student work, and tools such as Acadience Math progress monitoring to track student growth. This helps us answer important questions:

• Is the skill improving?
• Is the student ready for the next skill?
• Does instruction need to change?
