$Instructional Routine: Is it True? (REL Northeast) This video shows a teacher working with a group of students in a grade 4 mathematics intervention class. The intervention teacher uses an instructional routine that incorporates evidence-based strategies from the Representations Recommendation in the What Works Clearinghouse Practice Guide, Assisting Students Struggling with Mathematics: Intervention in the Elementary Grades. The students compare fractions by using concrete and abstract representations. This video is part of REL Northeast & Islands’ Math Intervention Toolkit.
