Welcome to our guide on creating effective math IEP goals, focusing on the learning standard 4.OA.A.2. This standard involves solving word problems using multiplication or division to make multiplicative comparisons, distinguishing these from additive comparisons. Our target IEP goal aims to enhance students' skills in comparing numbers through multiplication in word problems, improving from 0/10 to 8/10 correct work samples over ten trials. By setting SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Results-Oriented, and Time-Bound—we ensure measurable progress in operations and algebraic thinking skills. Dive into our objectives and strategies to support your students' success in mastering multiplication.
Learning Standard
4.OA.A.2
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.
Target IEP Goal
By (date), when given exercises with multiplication, the student will compare numbers with multiplication in word problems, improving operations and algebraic thinking skills from 0/10 work samples out of ten consecutive trials to 8/10 work samples in ten consecutive trials.
Teach Tastic IEP goals written to be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Results-Oriented, and Time-Bound.
