Connect fractions to parts of a dollar
When to use this goal
For students who handle coins but do not connect a quarter to 1/4 of a dollar or 50 cents to 1/2, which supports both fraction sense and money sense. Present levels in coin values decide readiness.
- Baseline
- Start with 1/2, 1/4, 3/4 and 1/10. Record whether the student counts coins to find the fraction or knows it.
- Tips
- Useful for older students with significant support needs as a practical entry to fractions. The time condition links to quarter past and half past.
- Limits
- Covers common fractions only.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given 10 money amounts and fractions such as 3/4 of a dollar, $0.50 or 1/10 of a dollar, with coins, the student will write each amount as a fraction of a dollar and as cents, and build it with coins independently with at least 90% accuracy on fraction and money items, across 3 consecutive sessions, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.
Baseline: 30% accuracy.

- Score only items the student attempted unless the goal defines a fixed set of items. Use the same denominator every session.
- Percent = numerator ÷ denominator × 100. Round to one decimal place.
- Record the support actually provided, even if the goal is independent performance.
