Students at all levels of math proficiency need access to quality resources that provide appropriate assessment, instruction, and practice opportunities. However, even the best core programs are unlikely to include all of the resources necessary to meet learners’ diverse needs.

How can administrators address this challenge? By providing quality resources to supplement core math instruction, you can ensure your teachers have what they need to help students practice and apply critical math skills both in and out of the classroom.

This guide explains how to accomplish this important goal by:

• Considering the instructional hierarchy as it relates to math learning
• Examining characteristics of instructional tools to drive engagement
• Recognizing the elements of practice that promote fluency, application, and transfer of math skills
