A Continuum of Interventions for Your Struggling Students

Voyager’s interventions are intended to identify struggling students early—before they

fall behind—and provide the support they need to be successful.

We provide a continuum of academic interventions in reading and math designed

to address the needs of your struggling learners—from strategic interventions that

support core curricula to intensive interventions for students who need a completely

different approach.

The goal of Vmath Summer Adventure is

to help stop summer learning loss across

grade levels and prepare students for

the upcoming school year. The National

Mathematics Advisory Panel and the National

Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)

have identified the need for students to have

access to highly qualified teachers in math.

The Vmath Summer Adventure program provides

strong daily lesson support so that teachers of

every experience level can provide effective,

research-based instructional practices.

Who Is Vmath Summer Adventure for?

Vmath Summer Adventure is for struggling students who need additional support in the key foundational math skills and essential concepts they must master

before moving to the next grade level in math.

Unlike traditional summer school programs that merely teach students what they should have already learned,

Vmath Summer Adventure divides instruction into smaller, more manageable objectives, allowing students the

time they need to build a solid math foundation, gain greater confidence in their abilities, and make strides

toward grade-level proficiency.

Support your Vmath Summer Adventure program with an additional

purchase of VmathLive (see page 34).

Our initial data from was very promising. We saw growth in our students at all

grade levels. We are anxious to continue our use of in the years to come.

Monitor Student Progress in Developing Mastery

The pretests and posttests embedded in Vmath Summer Adventure have been carefully designed to evaluate all aspects of student learning and inform instruction.

The pretest is given before instruction begins to measure student understanding of math content and establish a baseline score for each student. The posttest is given after the complete course has been taught. This assessment measures student mastery of concepts and skills.

How It Works

Vmath Summer Adventure’s modular structure adapts to the needs of students and allows for flexible

implementation options of either 30 or 60 hours of instruction.

Each Vmath Summer Adventure unit begins with an Adventure page. The Adventures show a colorful, high-

interest photograph and description of how the skills and concepts for the lessons are used in real life. This

feature helps motivate students as they connect what they are learning to interesting topics.

The easy-to-use Vmath Summer Adventure components and detailed lesson support allow teachers to minimize

the time spent preparing for the daily lessons and maximize the time spent working with students.
