CPM Study Team Roles and Team Support
Resource Manager: • Gets necessary materials and supplies for the team and makes sure that the team cleans up at the end of the period. • Manages non-material resources for the team, seeking input from each member. • Calls the teacher over when the whole team has a question. |
Facilitator: • Helps their team get started by having someone read the task aloud. • Makes sure each person understands the task and knows how to get started. • Makes sure everyone can explain the team’s answer. |
Recorder/Reporter: • Shares team’s results with the class. • Serves as a liaison with the teacher during a ‘Huddle.’ • Makes sure each team member records the work. • Organizes the team presentation and assigns the parts for the presentation. |
Task Manager: • Keeps the team focused and on task discussing math. • Intervenes if anyone is off task. • Articulates the reasons behind the math statements that the team makes by repeating what the team is saying. |

Mathematics Intervention Strategies
Summary of Intervention Strategies to Support Students Struggling with Math:
- Use of structured peer-assisted learning activities involving heterogeneous ability groupings.
- Use systematic and explicit instruction using visual and graphic representations.
- Modify instruction based on data from formative assessments of students (such as classroom discussions or quizzes).
- Provide opportunities for students to think aloud while they work.
- Share and discuss formative assessment data results with students.
- Instruction during the intervention should be explicit and systematic.
- Interventions should include instruction on solving word problems that are based on common underlying structures. This includes instruction on how to reading math problems.
- Be intentional regarding teaching students the eight Standards of Mathematical Practices.
- Increase opportunities for productive student discourse.
- Provide explicit instruction on writing in mathematics. For example, explaining answers and the processes taken to answer mathematical problems in writing.tion to English.
