Math Recovery

What is Math Recovery? Math Recovery is a targeted intervention program for at-risk first grade students. Through designed assessments math recovery teachers identify students who qualify based on the scores gathered from these assessments. The math recovery teacher works with 3-5 students individually for 30 minutes a day. During this time the teacher designs specific lessons to meet the needs of each individual student. Numeracy, math literacy, is the focus of all lessons. Each lesson is video taped and reviewed by the math recovery teacher in order to collect detailed data to plan future lessons. This daily one-on-one targeted instruction is intended to bring the at-risk student’s mathematical understanding up to grade level. The interventions last from 10-15 weeks.

History of Math Recovery Math Recovery was developed in Australia by Dr. Robert Wright. In the early 1990’s he and his team began researching how to help students who struggle with math. After developing and piloting the Math Recovery program it made its way to the United States in 1992. Other countries including the United Kingdom, the Bahamas, and New Zealand have also implemented the program.
