Find the missing part to make 10

When to use this goal

For students who know some ways to make 10 but still count all ten from 1 to find the missing part. Present levels in building numbers on a ten-frame decide readiness.

Baseline
Use all nine pairs in random order. Record whether the student counted the empty boxes or answered at once; answering at once on the hidden-counter version shows the pairs are known.
Tips
Make-10 pairs underpin the make-ten addition strategy and subtraction from teen numbers. The hidden-counter version is a good check that the pair is known without seeing the frame.
Limits
Measures pairs of 10 only. Timed recall of these pairs is a separate goal (ma-ns-036).

Goal

By the annual IEP review date, given a ten-frame showing 1 to 9 counters and the question "how many more to make 10?", the student will say, write or select the missing part that makes 10 independently in at least 9 of 10 trials, on 3 of 4 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.

Baseline: 3 of 10 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 Number Sense.

  • 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.
