We designed Pirate Math Equation Quest: Small-Group Word-Problem Intervention With Total, Difference, Change, and Equal Groups Schemas for use with elementary students. We developed this version of the program to offer small-group support to Tier-2 and Tier-3 students who require supplemental mathematics remediation in the area of word-problem solving. The focus of this intervention is single-digit and double-digit additive and multiplicative word problems that include four schemas: Total, Difference, Change, and Equal Groups.
