Solve facts with 0 and 1 as a factor or divisor
When to use this goal
For students who answer 6 x 0 as 6 or 7 / 1 as 1, which shows the operations are not yet understood as groups. This is a small, specific need; write it only when present levels show these facts are a persistent error source.
- Baseline
- Mix the 0 and 1 facts in with other facts so the student cannot answer by pattern. Note which case fails: times 0, times 1, divided by 1, or 0 divided by a number.
- Tips
- Build 6 groups of 0 and 6 groups of 1 with counters so the rules come from the action. Division by 0 is undefined; leave it out of the item set.
- Limits
- A narrow goal that may be better as a short-term objective under a fact fluency goal. Does not measure fluency.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given 20 mixed multiplication and division facts in which one number is 0 or 1, the student will write the correct product or quotient for each fact independently with at least 95% accuracy on facts with 0 and 1, on 3 of 4 consecutive probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.
Baseline: 50% accuracy.

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.

- 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.
