Module 1 Overview

The Mathematics RBIS support instructional planning across grade levels and daily classroom practice.


The Big Picture

These RBIS help you determine what to teach, when to teach it, and how ideas connect over time.


The Day-to-Day

These RBIS focus on how you teach and how your students practice during instruction.

Module 2 Overview

  • The instructional hierarchy reminds us that learning is a progression, not a single event.

  • Knowing whether students are acquiring conceptual understanding and procedural skills, building fluency, generalizing skills, or adapting a skill helps us choose the right supports.

  • Accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility are all components of procedural fluency.

  • Accuracy and rapid recall are components of fact fluency, or automaticity.

  • Fluent use of computational algorithms depends on the automatic recall of number facts while reinforcing and strengthening a student’s recall of these facts.

Module 3

Module 3 **

Module 3 has opened! If you are experiencing trouble opening Module 3, please make sure you have completed the survey located at the end of module 2. Please reach out if you continue to have problems.


Two main highlights of Module 3 include the need to submit an artifact and schedule a coaching call.


While in Module 3 you are learning more about Cognitive Load, Instructional Hierarchy, Learning Progressions, problem solving heuristics, and more grade specific math learning.


Hopefully you are finding this learning to be applicable to what is happening in your classroom each day!
