The Math Intervention Playbook

A practical playbook for supporting students who struggle in math.

Designed for real classrooms and real learners, The Math Intervention Playbook provides a clear, flexible structure for supporting students who need targeted math intervention-including English learners, students receiving special education services, and those who are behind in foundational skills.

Rather than offering scripted lessons or one-size-fits-all programs, this playbook focuses on how to think through intervention. It helps educators diagnose learning gaps, plan purposeful warm-ups, guide meaningful practice, and move students forward with confidence.

This book is built for:

• Classroom teachers

• Interventionists

• Special education teachers

• ELL educators

• Tutors and instructional aides

• Small-group and pull-out settings

The Math Intervention Playbook is part of a larger intervention system and is designed to be used alongside companion resources such as practice tasks, worksheets, buddy flashcards, and additional tools that support small-group instruction and skill development.

Written by an educator working directly with English learners, students receiving special education services, and learners who struggle in math, this playbook reflects the realities of today's classrooms-limited time, diverse needs, and the importance of practical, sustainable support.

If you are looking for a clear framework to guide your math intervention work-without overwhelm-this playbook was created for you.
