Grades 3–12

Ramp Up Every Student to Grade-level Math

On-Ramp Math is a grades 3–12 supplemental math program designed to address unfinished learning by providing targeted, just-in-time support to strengthen essential prerequisite math skills. Through personalized skill pathways, guided instructional supports, and clear insight for teachers, On-Ramp Math makes every student ready and able to participate in grade-level math instruction.

Turn stuck moments into “I got this!”

Fuel confidence with the right skills at the right time

Clarity for teachers, confidence for students

Students often struggle not because they lack ability, but because they are missing a few essential prerequisite skills needed for grade-level math. Traditional math intervention strategies over-remediate or mask the root cause of struggle, limiting access to grade-level instruction.

On-Ramp Math was designed to strengthen those exact skills and address unfinished learning in math through just-in-time support and precise instruction. A brief diagnostic identifies the exact, prerequisite skills each student needs and creates a personalized math pathway aligned directly to grade-level expectations. 

Through a simple three-part model: Identify essential skills a student needs, Elevate them through guided instruction, and Sustain readiness over time, On-Ramp Math helps students build the skills they need to be successful in grade-level math without overwhelming teachers or disrupting instruction.

On-Ramp Math begins by determining the essential prerequisite math skills a student needs for success in their enrolled course. This ensures that every skill a student practices contributes directly to grade-level math readiness.

Using a brief diagnostic, students are placed into a personalized pathway, My Journey, focused only on the Target Skills they have not yet learned. Skills already demonstrated are removed, creating a precise roadmap that avoids unnecessary remediation, accelerates progress toward grade-level instruction, and builds readiness and confidence along the way.

Target Skills are the identified primary skills students must learn to demonstrate grade-level readiness. 

Target Skills are: 

  • The core learning objective
  • The skills students must strengthen to be ready for grade-level instruction 
  • Explicitly taught and supported in the instructional cycle
  • What the system measures to indicate the degree of readiness a student is

Why this matters:
Target Skills ensure clarity. Teachers know exactly what a student is working toward, and students know exactly what success looks like.

Examples:

  • Middle School: Evaluating expressions with exponents
  • High School: Graphing linear equations in slope-intercept form

Supporting Skills are the micro-skills students need in place before they can confidently tackle the Target Skill.

Supporting Skills provide: 

  • The “building blocks” that prevent students from getting stuck
  • Bite-sized skill reinforcement
  • Context for why the Target Skill matters
  • A smooth ramp toward understanding the Target Skill

Why this matters: 
Instead of guessing why a student can’t perform a skill, On-Ramp Math reveals exactly which micro-skill is missing and addresses it inside the instructional cycle.

Examples: 
If a Target Skill is “Compare fractions with unlike denominators,” Supporting Skills might include:

  • Understanding unit fractions
  • Recognizing equivalent fractions
  • Comparing fractions with like denominators

Insightful data highlights patterns and misunderstandings at the skill level, giving teachers a clearer picture of where students are struggling and why. This makes it easier to target support, plan instruction, and accelerate progress without guesswork. When additional help is needed, On-Ramp Math provides teachers with five fully aligned activities for each skill, including targeted individual and small-group resources to support direct instruction. These resources align to specific student needs and can be assigned automatically or selected by the teacher, offering flexibility while keeping support instructionally focused.

  1. What is On-Ramp Math and who is it for?

    On-Ramp Math is a K–12 supplemental program designed to help every student become ready and able to participate in grade-level instruction. It identifies essential prerequisite skills, guides students through clear, supportive learning experiences, and gives teachers simple insight into student readiness. On-Ramp Math is ideal for classroom teachers, intervention teachers, schools, and districts seeking targeted support that strengthens foundational skills without overwhelming students or educators.

  2. How do students receive the right support in On-Ramp Math?

    Whether students need personalized skill support, teacher-directed guidance, or foundational fluency reinforcement, On-Ramp Math provides flexible pathways that strengthen exactly what each learner needs for grade-level success.

    • My Journey: Personalized Pathway for Readiness
      Adapts to each student’s skill readiness, guiding them through the exact Target and Supporting Skills they need to successfully participate in grade-level instruction.
    • Teacher Track: Teacher-led Skill Assignment

  3. How does the My Journey pathway personalize learning for students?

    The My Journey pathway begins with an initial readiness diagnostic that identifies which Target Skills a student needs to strengthen for success in grade-level readiness. The Target Skills the student didn’t pass in the diagnostic will create their personalized learning pathway, called My Journey, of essential skills needed to make them ready and able for grade-level content. This creates a personalized pathway where students spend time only on the skills that matter most for grade-level learning.

  4. What happens when a teacher assigns a skill in Teacher Track?

    The Teacher Track allows teachers to assign skills to individual students, small groups, or the whole class. When a teacher assigns a skill, students experience the same supportive instructional cycle used in the student’s My Journey pathway, beginning with a Concept Check, followed by guided instruction, and targeted practice with the relevant Target Skills and Supportive Skills. This ensures teachers can reinforce or revisit skills at exactly the right moment during instruction, without creating additional planning or grading work.

  5. How does Practice PowerUp track support foundational fluency?

    Practice PowerUp, coming soon, provides fun, game-based fluency practice that strengthens essential math foundations across grade levels. These interactive activities build automaticity and confidence with key skills, helping students retain what they’ve learned and prepare for more complex concepts. Practice PowerUp can be used anytime to reinforce learning and sustain readiness.

  6. How does On-Ramp Math identify which skills a student needs?

    On-Ramp Math breaks learning into Target Skills and Supporting Skills so students work only on what they truly need, not on unrelated remediation. Students begin the program by taking a brief diagnostic to determine which essential skills may need support in the students’ personalized learning pathway, called My Journey. At the conclusion of the diagnostic, if a student has passed a Target Skill, those Target Skills will be removed from their My Journey, while the Target Skills they didn’t pass will create their personalized learning pathway of essential skills needed to make them ready and able for grade-level content. This diagnostic creates a precise roadmap of skills the student needs in order to access grade-level content and build math comprehension and confidence.

  7. What types of instructional support do students receive?

    Students receive support through a structured, adaptive instructional cycle that includes:

    1. Short instructional videos (“Let’s Watch!”)
    2. Facilitation Tool that guides thinking step-by-step (“Let’s Explore!”)
    3. Targeted practice with a similar question (“Let’s Practice!”)
    4. Pit Stops that check Concept readiness and adjust support

    These supports combine to help students move from confusion to confidence without needing constant teacher intervention.

  8. How are teachers meant to use On-Ramp Math during instruction?

    Teachers can use On-Ramp Math flexibly across many classroom models. The My Journey student pathway provides ongoing, personalized support for independent work, while Teacher Track allows teachers to assign Target Skills proactively or reactively—before a lesson, after a lesson, or during targeted support time.

    On-Ramp Math fits naturally into centers and rotations, intervention blocks, tutoring, SPED support, before- or after-school programs, and enrichment periods. Clear dashboards help teachers quickly understand student progress and respond to needs without adding extra work.

  9. What makes On-Ramp Math different from other supplemental programs?

    Unlike programs that diagnose broadly or push students far backward, On-Ramp Math focuses only on the essential skills needed for the student’s current grade. Its Target Skills → Supporting Skills structure pinpoints exactly what’s missing, while the instructional cycle provides meaningful, encouraging support. With clear dashboards, teacher-controlled assignments, and engaging fluency practice, On-Ramp Math strikes a balance between personalization, precision, and teacher flexibility that other tools cannot match.

  10. Does On-Ramp Math replace core instruction?

    No. On-Ramp Math is designed to complement, not replace, core instruction. It strengthens the foundational skills students need to fully engage with grade-level lessons. Teachers remain in full control of classroom instruction, using On-Ramp Math as a targeted support system that connects directly to students’ math readiness.

  11. Can On-Ramp Math support multilingual learners?

    Yes. On-Ramp Math’s instructional videos (available in English and Spanish), guided prompts, and scaffolded practice are designed to provide clear, step-by-step support that benefits multilingual learners. The structured, predictable cycle helps students focus on the math, while targeted fluency practice and conceptual scaffolds make learning accessible at multiple language proficiency levels.
