List factors and multiples of a number

When to use this goal

For students who confuse factors with multiples, miss factor pairs, or cannot find a common denominator because they cannot list multiples. Present levels in multiplication facts decide whether a chart support is needed.

Baseline
Score a factor list correct only when complete; a missing pair such as 4 and 9 for 36 is the usual error. Check whether the student mixes the two words by asking for factors of 6 and multiples of 6 in the same probe.
Tips
The organized pair method (1 and 36, 2 and 18, 3 and 12, ...) prevents misses and is the strategy to teach. Multiples feed the fraction goals; connect the two in instruction.
Limits
Does not measure prime factorization or divisibility rules. Complete lists depend on fact knowledge, so a chart support changes what the score reflects.

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, given 10 whole numbers to 50 and the direction to list all the factors of each, the student will write every factor of each number with none missing and none extra independently with at least 85% accuracy on factor and multiple items, 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 Multiplication & Division.

  • 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.
