Subtract from teen numbers by taking from ten
When to use this goal
For students who count back by ones for facts like 15 - 8 and lose count. Present levels in make-10 pairs and in teen numbers as ten and ones decide readiness.
- Baseline
- Record the strategy used on each fact (counting back, counting up, take from ten, recall). Counting back by more than 3 is the error-prone method this goal replaces.
- Tips
- Counting up (8 to 10 is 2, 10 to 15 is 5, so 7) is another efficient strategy; accept it if the team prefers it. Move to recall probes once the strategy is reliable.
- Limits
- Covers one fact family. Requires solid make-10 pairs first.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a subtraction fact from 11 to 18 with a single-digit number taken away, and a double ten-frame showing the starting number, the student will take the amount from the full ten, add what is left to the ones, and say or write the answer independently in at least 8 of 10 trials, on 3 of 4 consecutive sessions, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected twice weekly.
Baseline: 2 of 10 opportunities.

- Record up to 10 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
