Math 180 is an intensive math intervention program for students in Grades 3–12 who are one or more years below grade level. Built around teacher-led instruction, meaningful learning experiences, and actionable data, Math 180 helps students rebuild essential math skills, strengthen mathematical thinking, and accelerate progress toward grade-level success and algebra readiness. Research has shown that students using Math 180 can achieve up to two years of growth in one year of instruction. 

Math 180 is backed by efficacy research demonstrating that students can achieve up to two years of growth in one year of instruction. Designed specifically for students who need additional support in mathematics, Math 180 uses explicit instruction to rebuild foundational math skills and conceptual understanding while developing procedural fluency, mathematical reasoning, and problem-solving skills along a coherent progression toward algebra readiness. 

Math 180 helps students address unfinished learning, rebuild foundational math skills, and develop the mathematical thinking required for algebra. Through explicit teacher-led instruction, visual models, hands-on learning, mathematical discourse, and real-world problem solving, students develop a deeper understanding of numbers, operations, proportional reasoning, and mathematical relationships. As students learn to explain their thinking, justify solutions, and apply concepts in new situations, they build the confidence and mathematical understanding needed for success in algebra and beyond.

Math 180 can be used within a school’s MTSS approach to provide instruction, assessment insights, and progress-monitoring tools for students performing below grade level who are receiving Tier 2 and Tier 3 math intervention. Educators can identify unfinished mathematical learning, deliver support aligned to student needs, monitor progress, and make data-informed decisions about intervention intensity and instructional next steps. Math 180 helps learners rebuild essential math skills, accelerate achievement, and move closer to grade-level success and algebra readiness.  

A dedicated Math 180 classroom uses a proven instructional model that combines whole- and small-group instruction, collaborative problem solving, and meaningful student learning experiences. Mathematical concepts are organized into coherent, cumulative learning progressions that build on prior learning, making them easier for students to understand and helping teachers identify where support is needed most. This structure allows students who are one or more years below grade level to start where they need support, rebuild essential math skills, and steadily develop the reasoning and problem-solving abilities required for algebra readiness. Designed for Grades 3–12, Math 180 provides teachers with the curriculum, instructional resources, and actionable data needed to accelerate growth and help more students achieve grade-level success. 

Math 180 includes a range of instructional materials and resources for teachers and students to support intensive math intervention in Grades 3–12: teacher-led lessons, instructional videos, digital learning experiences, assessments, reporting tools, manipulatives, and classroom resources designed to help students rebuild essential math skills and build algebra readiness. Content is organized into coherent, cumulative learning progressions that help students begin where they need support and build understanding over time. Teachers gain actionable data and instructional resources that make it easier to identify unfinished mathematical learning, respond to student needs, and accelerate measurable growth. 

Math 180 uses assessment data to inform student placement and monitor progress over time. Integrated NWEA MAP® Growth™ data helps educators identify unfinished mathematical learning, make informed placement decisions, and provide support aligned to student needs from day one. Ongoing performance data, embedded assessments, and progress-monitoring tools give teachers a clear view of student growth, helping them adjust instruction, celebrate gains, and accelerate achievement. The result is data-informed intervention that keeps students moving toward grade-level success and algebra readiness.  

Math 180 helps students with learning differences, including dyscalculia, build mathematical understanding through explicit, systematic instruction, visual representations, structured learning experiences, and guided practice. Content is organized into coherent, cumulative learning progressions that help students strengthen number sense, make meaningful connections across mathematical concepts, and build confidence over time. Ongoing progress monitoring and instructional supports help teachers identify needs, adjust instruction, and provide the right level of support. Meanwhile, students develop the foundational skills, mathematical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities needed for long-term success in mathematics. 

The only intensive math intervention program endorsed by the Council of Administrators of Special Education (CASE), Math 180 supports students in Grades 3–12 receiving special education services. Teachers can use assessment insights to identify needs, support IEP goals, and monitor growth. Students engage with explicit, systematic instruction, visual representations, scaffolded learning experiences, and guided practice that make mathematical concepts more accessible. The result is meaningful growth in essential math skills, stronger mathematical reasoning, and increased readiness for algebra. 

Math 180 helps multilingual learners build mathematical understanding while developing the academic language and vocabulary needed to engage with mathematics. Visual representations, scaffolded instruction, hands-on learning, and mathematical discourse help students understand concepts, develop academic vocabulary, and communicate their reasoning with confidence. Teachers have access to differentiated resources and actionable data that help them support students across proficiency levels while maintaining access to grade-level mathematics. The result is stronger mathematical thinking, greater confidence, and accelerated progress toward grade-level success. 

Math 180 provides ongoing professional learning and implementation support to help educators deliver intervention with confidence and achieve measurable results. Educators have 24/7 access to Teacher’s Corner® and Leader’s Corner®, giving them on-demand instructional resources, implementation guidance, reporting tools, and best practices that support day-to-day success. Teachers can get up and running quickly with resources that help them plan, teach, and assess learning, while Coachly® provides ongoing coaching and implementation support. Math 180 provides a sustained system of support that helps educators strengthen implementation, advance student growth, and maximize the impact of their intervention investment.  

Math 180 Flex helps teachers address a wide range of mathematical needs while keeping students connected to grade-level learning. The program combines an engaging, age-appropriate student application, differentiated instructional resources, actionable reporting, and integrated MAP Growth data to help educators identify student needs, provide meaningful support, and monitor growth over time. Students strengthen foundational skills, mathematical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities, while teachers gain the tools and insights needed to support more learners and accelerate math achievement.
