This training provides an overview of how to implement the Early Numeracy Intervention (ENI) with students in grades 1 and 2 who have been identified as in need of tiered support. In this course, you will learn more about the characteristics of students with mathematics difficulties, data-based individualization (DBI) within an MTSS framework, and key skills that address math skills needed for long-term success. This course will cover the characteristics of students with mathematics difficulties, locate ENI within an MTSS framework and discuss its role as a validated intervention program at Tier 2 (or when individualized, as a platform for providing intensive intervention within the DBI process and help participants build comfort and confidence with the ENI structure, teacher materials and student resources. NOTE: To complete this course and implement, participants must have purchased Early Numeracy Interventions (Level 1, Level 2 or both), so the course will prompt that process.

Do your Grade 5 and up students experience difficulty with math word problems? Do you struggle to help them? Or maybe you teach 4th grade and have students who need math enrichment. You are not alone, and we have a solution that works for both needs. Pirate Math Equation Quest (PMEQ): Multiplicative Schema Word-Problem Intervention builds on the Pirate Math Equation Quest (PMEQ): Additive and Multiplicative Schema Word-Problem Intervention course by introducing two additional math word-problem multiplicative schemas that Grade 4-8 students must learn to develop math competency, Comparison and Ratios and Proportions.
Learning objectives include:
- Reviewing ‘what works’ in word-problem instruction
- Understanding the three multiplicative schemas
- Examining implementation options for the multiplicative schemas within word-problem instruction
*Please note that enrollment in this course requires successful completion of the following 2 courses: Pirate Math Equation Quest (PMEQ): Introduction to a Word-Problem Intervention and Pirate Math Equation Quest (PMEQ): Additive and Multiplicative Schema Word-Problem Intervention. Please take these two courses before you participate in this Multiplicative Schemas Course to ensure you optimize your understanding of the content. When you successfully complete these prerequisites, you will be given an enrollment key to access this course.

Do your Grade 4-8 students struggle with math word problems? Do you struggle to help them? You are not alone and we have an evidence-based solution for you. Pirate Math Equation Quest (PMEQ) Additive and Multiplicative Schemas is a math word-problem intervention for fourth though eighth grade students experiencing math difficulty. During PMEQ, students receive explicit instruction on reading, interpreting, setting up, and solving word problems with a focus on schemas.
Learning objectives include:
- Learning the why - what works and what doesn't in word-problem instruction
- Identifying three additive schemas and one multiplicative schema
- Learning five activity routines to implement PMEQ
Please note that enrollment in this course requires successful completion of the prerequisite course Math - Word Problem Intervention Introduction. When you successfully complete this prerequisite, you will be given an enrollment key to access this course. Also, once you complete this course on the Additive and Multiplicative Schemas, you will be automatically enrolled in the next course in the series, Math - Word Problem: Advanced Multiplicative Schema, which completes the series.

Do your Grade 1-3 students struggle with math word problems? Do you struggle to help them? You are not alone and we have an evidence-based solution for you. Pirate Math Equation Quest (PMEQ) Additive Schemas is a math word-problem intervention for first through third-grade students experiencing math difficulty. Note: If your students are older, fourth grade on up, take the Pirate Math Equation Quest Group Level course instead because that includes multiplicative schemas, as well. During PMEQ, students receive explicit instruction on reading, interpreting, setting up, and solving word problems with a focus on schemas.
Learning objectives include:
- Learning the why - what works and what doesn't in word-problem instruction
- Identifying three additive schemas
- Learning five activity routines to implement PMEQ

Do your students struggle with math word problems? Do you struggle to help them? You are not alone and we have an evidence-based solution for you. Pirate Math Equation Quest (PMEQ) is a math word-problem intervention for students experiencing math difficulty. During PMEQ, students receive explicit instruction on reading, interpreting, setting up, and solving word problems with a focus on schemas. This course is the first in a series intended to enable educators to know what the research says to do and not do when teaching word problems, understand more deeply schema instruction (a "to do"), and then access materials and training to implement PMEQ.
Learning objectives include:
- Learning the why - what works and what doesn't in word-problem instruction
- Understanding schema-based instruction
If the students you serve are Grades 1-3, after this introductory course you are encouraged to take the PMEQ Additive Schema course. If your students are Grade 4 and up, you should instead take the PMEQ Additive/Multiplicative Schema course because older students need both and we'll cover both in one course.
