2.  Terra Nova - A student in the second grade who scores in the 23rd percentile qualifies for extra math support.

3.  Math Assessment Scores - A student scoring a Level 1 on the test automatically qualifies for AIS math.  A student scoring a Level 2 is observed or "monitored" to determine if services are required.

5.  Teacher Recommendation - If a student fails three consecutive tests, a teacher may recommend him for AIS services.
