Ready, Set, Review
“So, what should we see in an effective
mathematics classroom?
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.

Designed by teachers for teachers,
our programs:
 100% aligned with Common Core teaching
 do NOT interfere with planned lessons.
 come ready to use and requires minimal
class or teacher prep time.
 provide the opportunity for students to selfcorrect and track their results.
 have a diagnostic component.
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.
