IEP Goals For Student R

Standard

Standard 6.EE.7 Word Problems using Equations

Core Purpose
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving one-step equations
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the
form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.

Baseline

Student is able to solve for basic missing numbers such as 5 + ? = 7 with 80% accuracy. Student is able to
solve for complex problems such as 52 + x = 99 with 50% accuracy through counting up not inverse
operations. Student is able to solve 5x = 20 with 0% accuracy

Goal

By the end of the IEP cycle, when given a real-world problem with whole numbers that requires one-
step to solve and a graphic organizer Student R will draw a picture to represent the equation and solve
for the unknown variable for (4 out of 5) problems.

Benchmark 1

By the end of the first quarter, when given a one-step equation (e.g. 2x = 6) with whole numbers under
10 within the context of a rate problem from a proportion (2/3 = 2/x), Student R will solve the equation
using algebra tiles and an equation mat with teacher support (e.g. verbal prompts) in representing the
equation with 70% accuracy for 2 out of 3 sets of problems.

Example
 Benchmark 2

By the end of the 2nd Quarter, when given a one-step equation (e.g. 3x = 15) with whole numbers under
20 , Student R will solve the equation with teacher support (e.g. verbal prompts) in representing each
step arithmetically in a graphic organizer while using algebra tiles and an equation mat , with (80%)
accuracy for 2 out of 3 sets of problems.

Example

Benchmark 3

By the end of the 3rd Quarter, when given a one-step equation (e.g. X + 9 = 24 or 2X = 24) with whole
numbers, Student R will solve the equation using algebra tiles and an equation mat and/or arithmetically
using numerals and a graphic organizer and/or visual, with 80% accuracy for 2 out of 3 sets of problems.
