How do you design math lessons that are sure to reach your students that typically need intervention? One way that I have found is extreme success with is using the gradual release model (Douglas Fisher). Students need structure, repeated practice, and the opportunity to show that they have learned and can do the work independently. I typically refer to this approach as the "I Do, We Do, You Do" model and it is a way to provide a scaffold to those students that need a little more help.
