Target Students: Students who are struggling will be provided with visuals to use to
help them remember the steps needed to solve an equation. These visuals will include
examples, written notes, and anchor charts with explanations. Students will also be
given the opportunity to work in groups or pairs to help strengthen their skills, so they
have more confidence to work alone. Students who are struggling will be allowed to
reference visuals at any point during the lesson and to complete their independent

Co-Teaching & Collaboration: The co-teacher in the classroom will help the teacher during instruction by walking around the
classroom and helping students who need it or by giving the instruction to a small group of special needs students who might
need the instruction broken down into simpler terms. During guided practice the co-teacher will walk around the classroom
with the teacher and aid students who might need help with their work or understanding of the problems. During independent
work the co-teacher will work with the small group of special needs students who need a small student to teacher ratio. The co-
teacher will help modify the problems given and explain them in simpler terms for the students to understand them. The co-
teacher will provide individualized instruction to meet the individual needs of the students and meet their IEP requirements.
