Annual Measurable Goal (Target: 36 Weeks) 7.EE.B.4.a • 7.RP.A.2.d
Given grade-level algebraic word problems and linear equations featuring variables on either or both sides of the equal sign (e.g., \(px + q = r\), \(r = px + q\), or \(ax + b = cx + d\)), [Student] will formulate the linear equation, combine like terms, apply inverse operations to isolate the variable, and identify the slope and y-intercept with appropriate context units, to the extent of at least 80% accuracy across 4 out of 5 consecutive bi-weekly curriculum-based probes.
Objective 1.1 (Benchmark: Q2) Combining Like Terms & Inverse Operations
Minimal Prompting
“Given grade-level word scenarios and linear equations with variable terms on either side, with minimal verbal prompting, [Student] will translate scenarios into equations, combine like terms, and apply inverse operations to isolate and solve for the unknown variable, achieving at least 80% accuracy on 3 consecutive progress monitoring probes.”
Condition Grade-level linear word scenarios (variables either side) + minimal verbal prompting
Targeted Behavior Formulate equation, combine like terms, and apply inverse operations to isolate variable
Criteria ≥ 80% accuracy across 3 consecutive progress monitoring probes
Objective 1.2 (Benchmark: Q3) Slope & Y-Intercept in Linear Equations
Cleaned EdPlan Text
“Given grade-level contextual word scenarios and linear equations in standard or slope-intercept form, with minimal verbal prompting, [Student] will identify the slope (rate of change) and y-intercept (initial value), interpret their meaning within the linear relationship, and apply inverse operations to solve for targeted values, scoring at least 80% accuracy (or 4 out of 5 items correct) across 3 consecutive progress monitoring probes.”
Condition Contextual word scenarios & linear equations in standard/slope-intercept form + minimal verbal prompting
Targeted Behavior Identify slope & y-intercept, interpret in context, and apply inverse operations to solve
Criteria ≥ 80% (4 out of 5 items correct) across 3 consecutive probes
Benchmark Progression Ladder
| Period | Targeted Skills | Objective Phrasing Summary | Criteria |
|---|
| Q1 | Two-Step Inverses & Combining Terms | Given \(px + q = r\), combines like terms on one side and applies inverse operations to solve. | 80% on 3 probes |
| Q2 (Obj 1.1) | Variables on Either Side & Inverses | Given equations with variables on either side, combines like terms and applies inverses to isolate variable. | 80% on 3 probes |
| Q3 (Obj 1.2) | Slope & Y-Intercept Identification | Given linear equations, identifies slope \(m\) and y-intercept \(b\), interprets meaning, and solves using inverses. | 80% (4/5) on 3 probes |
| Q4 (Annual) | Full Linear Synthesis & Word Problems | Formulates equations, combines terms, identifies slope/intercept, and solves with context units. | 80% on 4/5 bi-weekly probes |
Measurement Key: Minimal prompting = ≤ 1 general orienting verbal/visual cue per task. Ratio/percentage note: 4/5 items = 80% accuracy.
