Tools for Progress
All students can make sense of mathematics. Some students just need more time, more opportunities or more support than others. Our approach emphasizes problem solving, the use of faithful visual models and a focus on developing fluency.
Bridges Intervention provides targeted instruction and assessment for essential K–5 mathematics skills and concepts. A strengths-based approach builds on each student’s abilities—starting with manipulatives, then moving to two-dimensional representations and mental images.
Intended to complement regular math instruction, Bridges Intervention is ideal for use with small groups. The small-group instruction and ongoing progress monitoring are consistent with Response to Intervention (RTI) and Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) frameworks. Further, the material is organized by content rather than grade, and each focused, 30-minute session provides everything an educator needs. Each Bridges Intervention set includes Teachers Guides, manipulatives, activities and games, assessments and Bridges Educator Site access.

Samples
The eight modules in Bridges Intervention Volume 1 focus on the skills and concepts needed to count, read, write, compare and understand numbers to 5, 10, 20, 120 and 1,000. More specifically, the collection of resources offered in this volume can be used to provide intervention for students who are working on one or more of the following:
- Counting forward and backward by 1s to 5, 10, 20, 100, 120 or 1,000 starting from any number within the range
- Counting up to 20 objects with one-to-one correspondence
- Reading and writing numerals to 5, 10, 20, 120 or 1,000
- Comparing quantities to 10, 100 or 1,000; using >, = and < symbols to record comparisons
- Structuring 5 and 10
- Composing and decomposing numbers from 11 to 19 into 10 ones and some more
- Skip-counting by 10s and 100s within 1,000
- Understanding the place value structure of 2- or 3-digit numbers
- Mentally finding 10 more or 10 less than any 2-digit number without having to count
- Mentally adding or subtracting 10 or 100 to or from a given number from 100 to 900

The eight modules in Bridges Intervention Volume 7 focus on the skills and concepts required for students to unpack and solve multiplication and division problem situations, as well as multistep problem situations requiring the use of all four operations. More specifically, the collection of resources offered in this volume can be used to provide intervention for students who are working on one or more of the following:
- Solving multiplication and division problem situations involving equal groups and arrays
- Solving problem situations involving multiplicative comparison using multiplication or division
- Solving two-step and multistep problem situations using addition, subtraction, multiplication or division, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted
- Representing problem situations using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity
- Solving problem situations involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, area and money
