Intervention program to support K-2
TEN Targeted Early Numeracy
TEN grew out of the Best Start Assessment program
Overview of TEN
Short, sharp bursts of teaching
Clear targets for teachers and schools around
number expectations
Students improvements are monitored against the
Best Start early numeracy continuum

TEN Focus

• The Target Early Numeracy Intervention program
  (TEN) Compliments the regular numeracy programs,
  Best Start and Count Me In Too.
• It is recognised that a small percentage of
  students are at risk of numeracy failure, despite
  a high quality, whole class numeracy program.
• The TEN program is not based on a withdrawal
  model.
• Teachers are supported in developing a class
  program which incorporates short, focused and
  frequent opportunities designed to increase the
  rate and proficiency of numeracy learning for
  targeted students.

4
The Program Will

• Help to monitor students rate of progress.
• Support the teaching needed to move students
  beyond the broad targets.
• Track students response to the intervention.

5
TEN Model

• An Early Learning Plan
• Smaller group sizes
• Short, focused, frequent lessons (10 min blocks)
• Strategically targeted activities
• Explicit and systematic teaching
• 5 weekly assessments
• The program is to be implemented within a daily
  lesson block without withdrawal or a specialist
  teacher.

6

• Class Teachers will
• Identify a possible intervention group within
  their classroom
• Administer the assessment to the possible
  intervention group
• Analyse the response of the students
• Place the students on the E.L.P
• Monitor the progress of the targeted students
  every 5 weeks
• Give the class data to the coordinator to send to
  the TEN Facilitator
• Work with a mentor and the coordinator to
  negotiate professional learning and in class
  support

7

• Which students make up the
• targeted intervention group?
• Broad targets have been set to assist teachers in
  identifying students for participation in the
  program
• All Kindergarten students will be at least
  perceptual counting stage in the range to 20 by
  the end of the year
• All year 1 students will be at least figurative
  counting stage across the decade (94) by the end
  of the year
• All year 2 students will be at least counting on
  and back stage in the range to 30 by the end of
  the year

Making numbers groups of ten. Talk about tens and units Count by 10s,2s,5s and by tens on and off the decade Rabbits Ears Count on bucket have a bucket, say to the children there are 12 teddies in the bucket lets count on , drop more in the bucket
Whole Class Introduction Discuss what the term Doubles means Use fingers to show doubles to 10 As a whole class play DOUBLE DICE students are given unifix cubes (20) Pick a student to roll the large ten sided dice in the middle of the classroom. If a student rolls a 6 students make two towers of 6 cubes and count the total. Teacher writes on the board 66 12 or say double 6 is 12 Closure Discuss how students worked out doubles for the games Did they use their fingers? Play - Whos the champion? or DOUBLE ARCHERY on the interactive whiteboard Whole Class Introduction Discuss what the term Doubles means Use fingers to show doubles to 10 As a whole class play DOUBLE DICE students are given unifix cubes (20) Pick a student to roll the large ten sided dice in the middle of the classroom.
