A deliberate and carefully planned reliance on ongoing, cumulative review of key skills and concepts Using cumulative review to keep skills and understandings fresh, reinforce previously taught material, and give students a change to clarify their understandings.” MEMORY RETENTION Long term memory Regular review develops and maintains long-term memory.

Response to Intervention Our programs are used both at Tier 1 to supplement the core instructional mathematics curriculum and Tier 2 with follow-up Skill Builders. Using the programs ensure that more students are able to meet grade level norms without additional assistance because of the comprehensive, systematic review of essential basic skills and concepts. The weekly tracking provides frequent progress monitoring, thus identifying which students need additional instruction and review. This review is done with the Skill Builders. affordable MATH’S MATE only $7.00 per student per year. less than 22¢ per student per week.
