Small-Group Intervention for Long-Term Math Success
Kickstart Math Intervention helps students thrive in their K–5 core curriculum and beyond. Kickstart programs use hands-on manipulatives, visual models, and collaborative talk to build conceptual understanding and confidence quickly in small groups.
Targeted Grade-Level Skills
Three programs provide targeted support for grade-level skills.
Student-Centered Intervention
Kickstart Math Intervention programs are developmentally appropriate, designed for the way students learn and think about themselves as learners.
Developmentally Appropriate Approach
- Concrete-representational-abstract approach makes K–5 math concepts accessible.
- Hands-on manipulatives, play-based activities, partner talk, and cooperative games deeply engage students.
- Quick wins and a growth mindset boost students’ confidence, math positivity, and curiosity about numbers.
Facilitator-Friendly Design
Co-authors Jen Hunt and Laura Nelson are math specialists and former classroom teachers. They developed Kickstart Math Intervention to meet schools’ needs too.
Ready-to-Use Materials
- Scripted lessons allow any adult to lead a small group. No math expertise required!
- Skills-based programs complement any core math curriculum.
