In this episode of Tier 1 Interventions, hosts Cheri Dotterer and Jonily Zupancic delve into the concept of the Staircase Problem, a reference task designed to enhance number sense through engagement and focus. This task fosters collaboration between teachers and occupational therapists within the classroom. It improves memory and retention of math concepts.
Key Topics Covered:
- The importance of counting in developing number sense
- Implementing Staircase Math as an ongoing reference task
- Strategies for creating independent math learners
- The role of occupational therapists in classroom-based interventions
- Building a collaborative approach to math instruction
