The purpose of this study was to see the impact of small group math interventions had on students’ math achievement with students who were considered high-risk according to Fastbridge testing. This study was mixed-methods action research, primarily focusing on the quantitative data gathered. The study used pre-test and post-test assessments, weekly small assessments, as well as surveys prior to interventions and after interventions to check students’ anxiety level towards math. There were five students from the 3^rd grade class were chosen to participate in this study. All data was collected and analyzed to determine if students grew in their math achievement. The results from this study showed an increase in math achievement in students who were high risk according to their Fastbridge score when doing small group math interventions.
