The provided source materials focus exclusively on free printable resources designed for math intervention, targeting educators and parents working with students from kindergarten through 8th grade. These materials are distributed primarily through educational content platforms such as Pinterest, Teachers Pay Teachers, and individual educator blogs. The resources aim to support small-group instruction, individualized practice, and skill remediation in various mathematical concepts. Unlike consumer freebies for household goods or personal care products, these "freebies" are instructional tools intended for classroom or homeschool use.
Overview of Available Math Intervention Resources
The source material identifies a variety of free math intervention printables available across several educational websites. These resources are generally categorized by grade level and specific math skills, offering low-prep or no-prep materials for teachers and parents.
Pinterest Collection (The Moffatt Girls) A Pinterest board titled "FREEBIES!" by The Moffatt Girls compiles 29 pins of printable worksheets and templates. While the specific content of every pin is not detailed, the board description indicates a focus on making teaching "EASY and FUN!" The board includes related searches for "Math intervention" and specific topics such as "Division Math Practice," "Subitizing To 5," and "Multiplying By 5." These pins likely link to external sites offering free downloads of these specific skill sheets.
Simply Kinder Resources Source [2] highlights a "Math Intervention Kit" designed for kindergarten. While the full kit is a paid product, the source mentions a "free number puzzle intervention activity" available to get started. The kit itself is described as a collection of activities covering kindergarten math concepts, intended for small group or one-on-one instruction. It is differentiated to fit student needs.
Educator Blogs and Teachers Pay Teachers Several sources point to individual educators offering free intervention materials: * Jennifer Findley (Source [5]): Offers free math intervention activities for 4th and 5th-grade students to address learning gaps. Specific freebies mentioned include "Addition and Subtraction Fluency" tic-tac-toe games. These are designed to be low-prep and suitable for 3rd-5th grade students, even if the skills are lower-level. * Beyond the Worksheet (Source [3]): Provides a free preview of a 6th Grade Math Intervention Binder, specifically covering "Subtracting Decimals" and "Area of Triangles." The full binder contains 55 skills. * Teachers Pay Teachers (Source [4]): A search on this platform yields several free math worksheet packets. One specific freebie mentioned is a packet for 4th and 5th graders practicing "dividing fractions by a whole number" using number lines and visual models. Another is a free sample of "5th Grade Math Homework" for daily spiral review. * The Math Spot (Source [6]): Offers "math intervention pacing and assessment" documents, which are blank forms for tracking student progress before, during, and after intervention sessions. These are available as PDF and Word files for editing.
Specific Math Skills and Concepts Covered
The free printables target a range of math concepts appropriate for various grade levels. The sources explicitly mention the following skills:
Early Elementary Concepts:
- Subitizing: Identifying the number of objects in a small group without counting (Source [1]).
- Adding & Subtracting 10: Specifically aligned with standard 1.NBT.5 (Source [4]).
- Number Sense: General practice for Kindergarten and First Grade (Source [4]).
Elementary Arithmetic:
- Addition and Subtraction Fluency: Tic-tac-toe games for mental math practice (Source [5]).
- Division: Division math practice, including division facts and introducing division packets (Source [1]).
- Multiplication: Multiplying by 5 and multi-digit multiplication strategies (Source [1]).
Intermediate Math:
- Decimals: Subtracting decimals (Source [3]).
- Fractions: Dividing fractions by a whole number using number lines and visual models (Source [4]).
- Geometry: Area of triangles (Source [3]).
Advanced Middle School Concepts:
- 6th Grade Skills: The intervention binder covers 55 different skills, aligning with 6th-grade curriculum (Source [3]).
- 7th Grade Standards: Resources encourage basic skills practice for major 7th-grade math standards (Source [3]).
- 8th Grade Math: A bundle covering fractions, decimals, percents, and algebra (Source [3]). There is also a mention of "8th Grade Math Skill Drills" covering 20 review topics from previous classes (Source [4]).
Usage and Implementation
The sources describe specific ways these printables are intended to be used:
- Small Group or One-on-One Instruction: The kindergarten intervention kit (Source [2]) and the Kindergarten/First Grade binder (Source [4]) are explicitly designed for small group or individual instruction.
- Differentiation: The kindergarten kit is noted for being able to be differentiated to fit student needs (Source [2]).
- Independent Practice: Resources are suitable for independent math workshop centers (Source [4]) or for students to work on their own to review skills (Source [3]).
- Assessment: Some materials, such as the tri-folds mentioned in Source [4] and the progress tracking forms in Source [6], can be used as assessments or for data collection.
- Low-Prep Solutions: Many resources are described as "low-prep" or "no-prep," requiring only printing to be ready for use (Source [2], Source [5]).
Accessing the Free Resources
Accessing these free math intervention printables typically involves visiting the specific educator's website or the Teachers Pay Teachers platform. * Teachers Pay Teachers: Users can search for specific terms like "Math intervention" to find free resources (Source [4]). * Educator Blogs: Links to free downloads are often provided within blog posts describing the resources (Source [5]). * Pinterest: Pins link to external sites where the free printables are hosted (Source [1]).
Some resources, such as the full intervention kits or binders, are paid products, but free samples or previews are available to allow educators to try the materials before purchasing.
