Ain't been taught (h/t Amanda VanDerHeyden). When lots of students are struggling in math in a class, is that an intervention problem or a Tier 1 problem?
We may need to look at improving Tier 1 instruction first.

Explicit instruction isn't boring lecturing!
It's fast-paced and interactive. Teachers are actively checking in with students. Most importantly, students experience the success that comes from being successful in math!

Math gaps don’t magically fix themselves.
If foundational skills aren’t addressed, they compound and get worse. This teacher taught the same students in 2nd and 5th - the same students were struggling.

Sometimes the tactic is denial. 🚩 Like "inquiry learning" doesn't exist. But the evidence is usually hiding in plain sight.
