Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Simple Example: Given a multiplication problem from 1-10, Student will be able to draw a picture of two times as many, on 2 equations per trial, across 10 total trials with an average accuracy rate of 80%. (consider doing a few other goals on three times, four times, etc.) Simple Example: Given a multiplication chart, Student will be able to write a multiplication equation from single digit sentence using “twice as many” across 2 equations, and 10 total trials, with at least 80% accuracy. Note: see definition of multiplicative comparison here.Ĭomplex Example: Using a calculator, Student will be able to write a multiplication equation from a single digit multiplicative comparison, on 2 equations, with an average accuracy rate of 70% across 10 trials. Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison. Simple Example: Student will be able to solve a multiplication problem with digits 1-5 and then say the multiplication sentence using correct vocabulary with on 3 multiplication problems, with 80% accuracy across 10 trials. Simple Example: Using a visual representation of a single digit multiplication equation, Student will be able to say the product is _ times larger than _, across 3 equations, with an average accuracy rate of 75% across 4 consecutive trials. Student will show mastery when they solve this across 3 statements, with an average accuracy rate of 80% across 10 trials. Student will master this goal when they can verbally say the product is _ times larger across 5 equations, with an average accuracy rate of 70%, across 10 trials.Ĭomplex Example: Using a check list with steps to remember, Student will be able to interpret a single digit multiplication statement that a product is a specific times as many as the multiplier. 4.OA.A.1Ĭomplex Example: Student will be able to take a product in a single digit multiplication problem, and then use the multiplier and multiplicand to make statements about the product being so many times larger. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations. Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. So if a student is struggling in computations, I would try to tie into one grade level of these standards. These standards and example goals, would all be working on skills around actual computation. Operations And Algebraic Thinking Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems Sometimes I write a goal that is skill specific and then another that is grade specific (but still under their area of weakness). And of course, look at their testing to see which skill areas they are deficient in. Talk with general education teachers to help guide you to which skills are most important. So to wrap this up, look for narrowing down the standards to a specific skill that can be taught. I am always a proponent of getting students in special education as much grade level content as possible. This is not true if the IEP goals are creating a way to access grade level standards through differentiating and narrowing down content. There’s a common misconception that if a student receives a goal on grade level, that they no longer need services. If they can access the basic skill, or one aspect of the content, that is still grade level content AND is differentiating. It’s okay if students can’t do every aspect of the standard. However, when you get to the meat of the standard, there is one or two key skills that students can learn. Many textbooks create math problems that are “interpretations” of the standards. Hopefully these examples can give you some new ideas, get you thinking about new ways to track, and if they are written well, they should lead you to progress monitoring.Ī question I hear a lot is: How can I use standards that are often too advanced for grade level students, to guide my students who are below grade level? My first thought is to take only the meat of the standards. Meeting a low skill level to an upper grade level can take a lot of thought. Math goals are often tricky to line up with the Common Core Standards (which aren’t endorsed by the department of Ed anymore but are still used by almost every curriculum).
