Initial Goal Submission (due by _____________ to the evaluator)
I. Setting (Describe the population and
special learning circumstances)
II. Content/Subject/Field Area (The
area/topic addressed based on
learner achievement, data analysis,
or observational data)
III. Baseline Data (What is shown by
the current data?)
Incredible Elementary School has a population of 525
students of which 10% are identified for Gifted Services.
This is a pre-selected pull-out math group of identified
gifted students that meets once per week.
Algebraic Thinking/Patterns unit using Project M3:
Mentoring Mathematical Minds “Awesome Algebra”
materials
Pre-Assessment for M3 Awesome Algebra unit (see
attached): Students will solve problems involving
geometric patterns, numerical patterns, repeating
patterns, growing patterns, 100-chart patterns, and
mental problem-solving strategies. Pre-assessment will
be scored using M3 unit test rubric (see attached). The
assessment will be scored and results will be included in
this baseline data section.
Sample Data: see attached chart on last page
Description:
0 out of 12 students scored 86% or higher
6 out of 12 students scored 80-85%
4 out of 12 students scored 70-79%
2 out of 12 students scored 69% and below
Data attached
IV. SMART Goal (Describe what you
want learners/program to
accomplish)
During the ____ week unit, 100% of the second grade
identified math students will show measureable
improvement in algebraic thinking skills, as evidenced
by an increase from the pre-assessment and postassessment scores. By the end of the unit, at least 85%
of these students will score 90% or higher on the postassessment.
