NOTE: To complete this course and fully implement, participants must have purchased Early Numeracy Interventions (Level 1, Level 2, or both).
This training provides an overview of implementing the Early Numeracy Intervention (ENI) with students in grades 1 and 2 who have been identified as needing tiered support. Participants will learn 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. The course covers ENI’s role as a validated intervention at Tier 2 (or as a platform for intensive intervention within DBI) and helps participants build comfort and confidence with the ENI structure, teacher materials, and student resources.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the characteristics of students with mathematics difficulties.
- Locate ENI within an MTSS framework and understand its role as a validated Tier 2 intervention or DBI platform.
- Be comfortable and confident with the ENI structure, teacher materials, and student resources.

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 designed to help educators understand research-based practices for teaching word problems, deepen their understanding of schema instruction, and access materials and training to implement PMEQ.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand what works and what doesn’t in word-problem instruction.
- Understand schema-based instruction.
If the students you serve are in Grades 1-3, you are encouraged to take the PMEQ Additive Schema course after this introductory course. If your students are in Grade 4 or higher, you should take the PMEQ Additive/Multiplicative Schema course, which covers both schemas in a single course.

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.
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 and 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.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the why - what works and what doesn’t in word-problem instruction.
- Identify three additive schemas.
- Implement 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. 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 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 through 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.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the why - what works and what doesn't in word-problem instruction.
- Identify three additive schemas and one multiplicative schema.
- Implement five activity routines to implement PMEQ.

*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.
Do your Grade 5 and up students experience difficulty with math word problems? Do you struggle to help them? Or maybe you teach Grade 4 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.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Review what works in word-problem instruction.
- Understand the three multiplicative schemas.
- Examine implementation options for the multiplicative schemas within word-problem instruction.
