TEN

The //Targeted Early Numeracy Intervention Program// (TEN) compliments the regular numeracy programs, //Best Start// and //Count Me in Too// (CMIT). It is recognised that a small percentage of students are at risk of numeracy failure, despite a high quality, whole class numeracy program.

The TEN program is not based on a withdrawal model. Teachers are supported in developing a class program which incorporates short, focussed and frequent opportunities designed to increase the rate and proficiency of numeracy learning for targeted students.

The process involves teachers using professional judgement, and information gathered from previous class assessment processes, to initially identify those students that are of concern. The TEN assessment schedule is then administered to these targeted students to identify their specific numeracy learning needs.

The research-based model of learning associated with the TEN program provides clear guidance for students’ development of early numeracy strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems.
