• Conceptual Development - The portion of the 90 minute math block that is devoted to on grade level instruction of the math curriculum (30-45 min).
• Guided Math - The portion of the math block which focuses on remediating, enriching, and/or accelerating math skills. The teacher provides small group instruction based upon the students' instructional plan, while other students work independently or in groups at workstations designed to support current instruction.
