Complete ratio tables to solve problems

When to use this goal

For students who set up proportions by rule but put numbers in the wrong places, and who need a table to see how two amounts grow together. Present levels in multiplication and in equivalent fractions decide readiness.

Baseline
Record adding instead of multiplying across rows. Include tables where the step is not a whole number.
Tips
Ratio tables link to unit rates and proportions (ma-fr-020). Recipe and speed contexts work well.
Limits
Does not measure graphing ratios.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, given 10 ratio tables with two or three missing values, such as cups of flour to batches of cookies, the student will fill in each missing value and write the rule that connects the rows independently with at least 85% accuracy on ratio table values, on 3 of 4 consecutive probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.

Baseline: 30% accuracy.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
  • Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.

  • Met: Condition. Stated.

  • Met: Unit fits the behavior. Percent accuracy fits this behavior.

  • Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.

  • Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.

  • Met: Method produces the metric. Work-sample analysis gives percent accuracy 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 Fractions.

  • 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.
