IEP Math Goal Examples

Computation, fluency, and problem solving goals to adapt.

Sample math goals following the measurable pattern — condition, behavior, criterion, measurement. Adjust numbers, operations, and supports for the individual learner.

Computation example

"Given 10 two-digit subtraction problems with regrouping, the student will solve 8 correctly with no more than one teacher-provided prompt in 3 consecutive weekly probes."

  • Probe: same-format problem set each week
  • Data: correct/incorrect plus prompt level
  • Track: mastery against the 8-of-10 criterion

Fluency example

"Given a 5-minute mixed-facts probe (addition and subtraction to 20), the student will complete 30 problems with 95% accuracy in 2 of 3 trials by the next review period."

  • Probe: timed mixed practice
  • Score: problems correct in the window
  • Track: rate and accuracy trend

Problem solving example

"Given a one-step word problem with a graphic organizer, the student will identify the correct operation and solve with 80% accuracy in 4 of 5 opportunities."

  • Probe: 5-problem sets with the organizer available
  • Data: operation identified + correct solution
  • Track: both components separately at first
