Intervention:             Saxon Math

Brief description:        Saxon math is designed for students who often feel frustrated by math and are struggling to master middle school math concepts and skills. The class covers a year’s worth of grade level curriculum, yet offers greater repetition and skills practice. The Saxon math text is used and is an incremental approach to math instruction.

Grade levels:            Targeted 5 – 8

Placement process:    Teachers and parents may refer students for Saxon math consideration.

        Students may qualify for placement if assessment data is:

·       below proficient on NECAP math (score of 1 or 2)

·       one grade level below median RIT on NWEA

·       25%ile or below on AIMSWeb M-CAP and /or M-COMP

·       or, there is a speech and language concern that would prevent student from successfully accessing CMP2 curriculum

Scheduled class:         Every day for one hour as the regular math class.

Exit strategy:            Students generally stay in the Saxon math curriculum through middle school, however if assessment data shows growth over the 45%ile then placement in the Connected Mathematics program (CMP2) is encouraged.
