Free, Ready-to-Use Functional Math IEP Goals for High School Students
Browse CCS-aligned IEP goals and objectives for probability and making decisions based on data. These mathematics goals for students in 9th to 12th grade focus on helping students making informed decisions based on data and understanding probability. Looking for time, money, measurement, or positional language? Check out our elementary school, middle school, and high school life skills math goals. Want to see what goals look like in your state? Go through our state specific IEP guides. Need to know if an IEP goal is good and what IDEA says about goals? Check out our how to read IEP goals pages.
- Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical testing, pulling a hockey goalie at the end of a game). CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.MD.B.7
- Basic probability questions
- Harder probability questions
- Inclusive and exclusive mutual probability questions
- Probability with word problems
Leon has a basic understanding of probability and can answer questions orally about which event is more likely. He has more difficulty answering specific questions about the probability of single events (40% accuracy) and combined events, like having brown hair and blue eyes (20% accuracy).
- Given a calculator, Name will analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts, answering questions about the relative likelihood of individual and combined events with 80% accuracy as measured by teacher records and observations CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.MD.B.7
- Make it easier: “the relative likelihood of individual events”
- Make it harder: “the relative likelihood of events and possible outcomes”
- Weigh the possible outcomes of a decision by assigning probabilities to payoff values and finding expected values. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.MD.B.5
Note that this is a more advanced probability goal focused on expected values. Toggle to the other probability goal if you were looking for something more accessible!
Juanita can answer questions about the probability of a single event, like rolling a 2, with 80% accuracy and, given formulas, can find the probability of combined events with 50% accuracy. She needs significant teacher support to go beyond this to understanding and making decisions based on expected values (under 20% accuracy).
- Given a calculator, Name will weigh the possible outcomes of a decision by assigning probabilities to payoff values and finding expected values with 80% accuracy as measured by teacher records and observations CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.MD.B.5
- Make it easier: Given a broken-down problem,
- Make it harder: Given a real-world scenario,
