MATH INTERVENTION FOR ALGEBRA READINESS, GRADES 5–12
MATH 180®
Rebuild the key progressions that struggling math
students need for success with algebra and beyond.
MATH 180 is a blended-learning intervention program that builds students’ con dence and competence in mathematics while providing teachers with comprehensive support. Through a combination of personalized software and teacher-facilitated instruction, students progress swiftly and successfully toward grade-level curriculum.
MATH 180 is available in two courses. Designed for students who lack numerical understanding and reasoning skills, Course I focuses on key foundational concepts that enable students to make connections while learning to think algebraically. The Course II curriculum transitions students to pre-algebra with an emphasis on building proportional reasoning with rates, ratios, linear relationships, and functions.
EVIDENCE-BASED RESEARCH
®
Each Course (Course I and Course II) includes the following materials:
Student Materials
• Student Software
• HMH Math Inventory®
• mSpace Student Books (Volumes 1 & 2)
Teacher Materials
• SAM Central
• Teaching Guides (Volumes 1 and 2) • Annotated mSpace Books
(Volumes 1 & 2)
• Resources for Di erentiated Instruction • Interactive Whiteboard Technology
• Getting Started Guide
• Professional Learning Guide
• Classroom Posters
• Classroom Games Box
Professional Learning Opportunities
• In-Person Training

PROGRAM COMPONENTS
MATH 180 is informed by an extensive body of literature about best practices for serving older struggling math students. The MATH 180 Research Foundation Paper provides relevant information from the research base, and expert opinion is presented alongside descriptions of how these research foundations have been translated into the program design and curriculum.

ASSESSMENT AND PROGRESS MONITORING
MATH 180 includes a comprehensive, robust suite of assessment tools and reports for monitoring progress and di erentiating instruction. Once students are enrolled in the program, a variety of formative assessment tools identify their most urgent needs, allowing the software and teachers to adjust instruction accordingly. Multi-dimensional assessments include screening and placement, curriculum-embedded, performance tasks, and ongoing diagnostic and formative assessments. A Mindset Scan, developed by Mindset Works®,
is also included to monitor shifts in students’ attitudes about mathematics and their own abilities over the course of the program.
INDIVIDUALIZED, ADAPTIVE INSTRUCTION
Personalized learning in MATH 180 is driven by the Fluency and Automaticity through Systematic Teaching with Technology (FASTT) algorithm, which helps students manage their acquisition of new information and then carefully synthesize this information as long-term memory in the brain. As students work independently on the computer, the software is automatically and continuously collects student performance data, feeding multiple reports that teachers use to inform small-group instruction.
FLEXIBLE IMPLEMENTATION
MATH 180’s blended learning model maximizes instructional time with a clear organization for whole-class, group, and individualized learning. This simple yet powerful design allows both
the teacher and technology to deliver e cient, e ective instruction based on their respective strengths. The program can be implemented successfully using various models to accommodate scheduling or instructional concerns.
