- Program: Add+VantageMR
- Vendor Website: http://www.mathrecovery.org/addvantage
- Vendor Contact: info@mathrecovery.org
- Grade Levels: K-3
- Program Description: : Add+VantageMR provides teaches with efficient and effective assessment tools to diagnose students’ current understandings of number concepts, providing evidence for differentiated, data-driven instruction, advancing student numeracy according to the Learning Framework in Number and the Kentucky Core Academic Standards for Mathematics progressions. Recommended small group size is 6-8 students.
- Professional Learning Description: This ten day course is built around Add+Vantage Math Recovery and is designed for elementary grades teachers to learn and practice assessments and teaching strategies for advancing students' foundational number knowledge, including addition and subtraction and multiplication and division.
- Professional Learning Cost: $2,000

- Program: Assessing Math Concepts
- Vendor Website: http://assessingmathconcepts.com
- Vendor Contact: Sheryl Russell sheryl@mathperspectives.com
- Grade Levels: K-3
- Program Description: Assessing Math Concepts (AMC) is a continuum of nine assessments that are formative, summative, and diagnostic and pinpoint what a child knows and still needs to learn. AMC helps deepen teachers’ understanding of the mathematics they teach. Recommended small group size is 6-10 students.
- Professional Learning Description: KMIT is a ten day numeracy-based professional learning experience for new and/or replacement MITs utilizing Do the Math or Assessing Math Concepts intervention programs. Participants will learn how to diagnostically assess student understanding and how to design or choose instructional tasks to foster student understanding. Participants will also be supported in grant specific intervention programs.
- Professional Learning Cost: $1,600
