Copy a pattern block design from a picture
When to use this goal
For students who can name shapes but cannot copy a design when pieces must be turned or flipped. Present levels in filling outlines with pattern blocks decide readiness.
- Baseline
- Record designs completed correctly and the pieces placed wrong. Full-size pictures are easier than smaller ones.
- Tips
- The app version removes fine motor demands and allows quick turns. Pair with composing shapes (ma-geo-007).
- Limits
- Visual-motor skills affect results; coordinate with the occupational therapist.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a picture of a design made from 4 to 8 pattern blocks or tangram pieces, without outlines, and the pieces, the student will build the design so each piece matches the picture in shape, position and turn independently in at least 4 of 5 trials, on 3 of 4 consecutive sessions, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.
Baseline: 1 of 5 opportunities.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
Met: Condition. Stated.
Met: Unit fits the behavior. Opportunities fits this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Opportunity (trial) recording gives opportunities 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 Geometry & Spatial Reasoning.
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.

- Record up to 5 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.
