Write strategy-family facts on a timed probe
When to use this goal
For students learning multiplication facts one strategy family at a time (2s, 5s, 10s; then 4s and 8s; then 9s; then 3s and 6s), who need fluency data on the family being taught. Present levels from an untimed fact check by family decide the order.
- Baseline
- Give one probe per family to see which families are known. Use the median of three probes for the starting family.
- Tips
- Mixing earlier families keeps them strong. The all-facts probe (ma-md-001) is the end check once every family is learned.
- Limits
- Rates from different families are not directly comparable; graph each family separately.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a 1-minute probe of facts from the current strategy family mixed with facts from families already learned, the student will write the answer to each fact independently at a rate of at least 30 digits correct per minute, in 3 of 4 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by timed probes collected weekly.
Baseline: 10 digits correct per minute.

Measurability check11 of 11 met
Met: Observable behavior. Stated as an action.
Met: Condition. Stated.
Met: Unit fits the behavior. Rate (per minute) fits this behavior.
Met: Explicit criterion. Number and unit stated.
Met: Mastery rule and schedule. Both stated.
Met: Method produces the metric. Timed probes gives rate (per minute) 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.
