Measurement, Time & Money IEP goals for middle school (grades 6 to 8)
52 of the measurement, time & money templates in the library are written for middle school (grades 6 to 8). Each opens in the builder, where the grade band is a starting point and the baseline comes from your own assessment.

Goals by skill
Numbers are illustrative; set targets from the student's own baseline.
Tell time to the nearest five minutes and minute
Telling time to five minutes and one minute
By the annual IEP review date, given 10 analog clock faces showing times to the nearest five minutes, the student will write the time shown on each clock in digital form independently with at least 90% accuracy on clock readings, on 3 of 4 consecutive probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected weekly.
Read a digital clock and match it to an analog clock
Digital clocks and matching times
By the annual IEP review date, given 10 digital times shown on a clock or a phone screen, the student will read each digital time aloud as hours and minutes independently with at least 95% accuracy on digital times, across 3 consecutive data collection sessions, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected twice weekly.
Find elapsed time and end times
Elapsed time
By the annual IEP review date, given 10 elapsed-time problems with start and end times on the same clock side of noon, in whole hours and half hours, the student will write the elapsed time or the end time for each problem independently with at least 80% accuracy on elapsed-time problems, on 3 of 4 consecutive probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.
Find dates and count days on a calendar
Reading a calendar
By the annual IEP review date, given a monthly calendar and 10 questions such as "what day of the week is the 14th?" or "how many days until the field trip?", the student will answer each question by locating the date on the calendar independently with at least 90% accuracy on calendar questions, on 3 of 4 consecutive probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.
Compare and convert units of time
Units of time and durations
By the annual IEP review date, given 10 pairs of time periods such as a minute and an hour, or a week and a month, and the question "which is longer?", the student will state which time period is longer independently with at least 90% accuracy on time unit items, on 3 of 4 consecutive probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.
Use a schedule to find start times and time remaining
Using a schedule
By the annual IEP review date, given a printed or on-screen schedule (class, bus, work or program listing) and 10 questions about when events start, end and how long they last, the student will locate the event on the schedule and state its start time, end time or length independently with at least 90% accuracy on schedule questions, on 3 of 4 consecutive probes, as measured by work-sample analysis collected every two weeks.
Middle school measurement, time & money goals account for multiple teachers, changing classes, and more independent work. They often pair the skill with a strategy or tool, and the data can be collected across settings by different staff or by the student.

Frequently asked questions
How are measurement, time & money goals measured across several middle school classes?
By defining the task and the observation period so any teacher can use the same sheet, or by work samples collected from more than one class. Student self-monitoring with a weekly check is common.
Should middle school goals include study skills?
When assessment shows that organization, planning, or test preparation limits the student's progress, yes. Those goals are measured with task-analysis checklists and percent of assignments completed.
When does transition planning start?
The IEP in effect when the student turns 16 must include postsecondary goals and transition services, and many states start at 14. Middle school goals can build the self-advocacy and independence those plans rely on.
