First Grade Math IEP Goals Standards-Aligned
This IEP goal bank is on first-grade math prerequisite skills, including progress monitoring, data collection tools, worksheets, and lesson packs for all top nationally used IEP goals.
Best First Grade Math IEP Goals
Free IEP goals and objectives for first-grade math that are focused on a learning progression for most Common Core clusters to build strong math foundational skills for future grades. Many math skills included are addition, subtraction, money, estimating, problem solving and place value.
You're a first-grade special education teacher, and you have to write IEP goals for math. It's hard enough writing iep goals for 1st grade, but it's even harder when they have to be aligned with Common Core or State Standards (CCSS).
We've got you covered. Our 1st grade math IEP goal bank is filled with standards-aligned goals that will help your students make progress in math. Plus, we offer Data Collection Tools, IEP Goals Workbooks, Math Centers, Independent worksheets, and Interventioon Lesson packs to help you track student progress and meet IEP requirements.
First Grade Math IEP Goals
1.OA: Operations & Algebraic Thinking
- 1.OA.A: Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction.
- 1.OA.A.1: Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
- 1.OA.A.2: Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
- This goal covers the following objectives
- 1.OA.B: Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.
- 1.OA.B.3: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract.2 Examples: If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.)
- This goal covers the following objectives
- 1.OA.B.4: Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem.
- 1.OA.B.3: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract.2 Examples: If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.)

- 1.OA.D.7: Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. For example, which of the following equations are true and which are false? 6 = 6, 7 = 8 - 1, 5 + 2 = 2 + 5, 4 + 1 = 5 + 2.
- 1.OA.D.8: Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + ? = 11, 5 = _ - 3, 6 + 6 = _.

- This goal covers the following objectives
- 1.NBT.B.2.A: 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones ? called a "ten."
- 1.NBT.B.2.B: The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.

Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.

1.SUP: Supporting Skills
- 1.SUP.MATH: Supporting Skills for Math
- 1.SUP.MATH.1: Although this skill cluster is not associated with a state standard it is still given emphasis at the cluster level. Supporting work at grade level and, where appropriate would be acceptable for many students' grade-level iep goals.
Special education teachers determine what children need for smart iep goals and how best to align common core state standards. Thank you for letting us be part of your special education classsroom.
