Count items in full cases by multiplying
When to use this goal
For high school students doing inventory or stocking in a school store, cafeteria or work site who count every item one by one. Present levels in multiplication with a calculator and in counting loose items decide readiness.
- Baseline
- Record the method (counting all, adding cases, multiplying) and the time taken. A correct count by ones that takes 10 minutes is a real job problem.
- Tips
- Coordinate with the job coach and use the site's own stock sheet. Partly full cases can be added as a later objective.
- Limits
- Covers full cases with a known count; checking that each case is full is a separate job step.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given a set of full cases or trays with a known count per case (such as 24) plus some loose items, at the school store or a work site, the student will multiply the number of full cases by the count per case, add the loose items, and record the total independently with at least 95% accuracy on stock counts, on 3 consecutive weekly checks, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly.
Baseline: 30% accuracy.

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.

- 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.
