Name dot patterns on a one-minute deck
When to use this goal
For students who recognize small dot patterns but still slowly, which holds back early addition. Present levels show accurate naming of 1 to 6 untimed; grade does not decide fit.
- Baseline
- Give three 1-minute probes and use the median. Record which patterns the student counts rather than names at a glance; these are the teaching targets.
- Tips
- Shuffle the deck for each probe and let the student flip at their own pace. Brief daily games build speed. Count self-corrections within a few seconds as correct.
- Limits
- Rate depends on how fast the student can speak and flip cards. Speed on one card style may not transfer to other arrangements.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a 1-minute deck of dot cards showing 1 to 6 in dice, domino and ten-frame patterns, the student will name the number of dots on each card as it is flipped independently at a rate of at least 30 correct responses per minute, in 3 of 4 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by timed probes collected weekly.
Baseline: 12 correct responses per minute.

Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
Met: Condition. Stated.
Met: Unit fits the behavior. Rate (per minute) fits this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Timed probes gives rate (per minute) data.
Met: Review timeframe. Stated.
Met: Baseline and target compatible. Same unit, change in the right direction.
Met: Aligned with area of need. Still about Early Numeracy & Counting.
Met: Level of support. Defined.
Met: Blanks filled in. Nothing left to fill in.
Checks structure and wording only. Whether the goal fits the student is the team's call.
Short-term objectives (optional)
When are objectives required?Required for students on alternate assessments (34 CFR §300.320(a)(2)(ii)); some states require them for everyone.
