I have a very unique position that consists of two parts; math resource and the Talent and Development Program. Simply for my math resource position, I pull students who typically are tier 2 math students into my room for small group instruction. The math concept that is being taught in the students' classrooms during that time, I teach in my small group, but at a level that fits the group's ability. However, the other part of my position is the Talent and Development Program. Students who are in 3rd through 5th grade and test above the 91%ile come to me for three hours a six day cycle.
(Simply, my school does not have scheduling by days, but by day numbers. Considering the number of Mondays and Fridays schools tend to have off, a numbered cycle eliminates missing the same groups on days there is no school.) These students come to me for reading and math. By time a student finishes 5th grade TDP, they will be able to set algebraic equations to solve challenging story problems.
My 5th grade students had to pass out bananas on field day as part of a project. I attached a photo of myself so you can put a face with the name. :)
