While tiered intervention is one tool for supporting students struggling to demonstrate proficiency, there is often a lot more we can do in Tier 1 to make math more accessible and engaging for all students. We share how teachers can create a richer, more accessible math experience for all by designing for alternate means of expression–that is, having students engage with math ideas and demonstrate understanding via a variety of options that align with their strengths, abilities, and preferences and leverage their own mathematical, cultural, linguistic, and community-based funds of knowledge.
