Instructional Goal Statement:
Each week students will improve by 5 pts. on their weekly eight minute mathematics probe that is comprised of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division questions.
Goal Analysis:
Based on the instructional goal, students will be able to do the following based the specifically needed mathematical operation.
3.NSBT.2 Add and subtract whole numbers fluently to 1,000 using knowledge of place value and properties of operations.
o Add 1-digit + 2-digit numbers
o Add 2-digit + 3-digit numbers
o Add 3-digit + 3-digit numbers
o Add 1-digit + 1-digit + 2-digit numbers
o Add 3-digit + 3-digit + 3-digit numbers
o Subtract 1-digit - 1-digit numbers
o Subtract 1-digit - 2-digit numbers
o Subtract 2-digit - 3-digit numbers
o Subtract 3-digit - 3-digit numbers
3.ATO.7 Demonstrate fluency with basic multiplication and related division facts of products and dividends through 100.
o Multiply 1-digit by 1-digit numbers
o Multiply 1-digit by 2-digit numbers
o Divide 1-digit by 1-digit numbers
o Divide 1-digit by 2-digit numbers
Evaluation Materials:
· Weekly Test
· Weekly Probe Answer Key for all students and a single copy for the instructor. Given to students after the completion of the eight minute test.
· Pencil with an eraser (for all students)
· 1 Stop watch (for the instructor to time the eight minutes)

Directions for Administering the AIMSWeb M-Cap Probes:
These directions are for group administration—adapt as needed for individual administration.
Say to the students: We’re going to take an 8-minute math test. Read the problems carefully and work each problem in the order presented, starting at the first problem on the page and working across the page from left to right. Do not skip around. If you do not understand how to do a problem, mark it with an X and move on.
Once you have tried all of the problems in order, you may go back to the beginning of the worksheet and try to complete the problems you marked. Although you may show your work and use scratch paper if that is helpful for you in working the problems, you may not use calculators or any other aids.
Keep working until you have completed all of the problems or until I tell you to stop. Do you have any questions? Answer any questions the students may have.
Hand students their probes, and say: Here are your tests. Write your name, your teacher’s name, and the date on the first page only in the space provided. Do not start working until I tell you to begin. Allow the students time to write their information. When everyone in the class is done, say: Begin.
· Start timing. Walk around the room to make sure that the students are working the problems in order.
· If you notice that a student is skipping ahead without attempting each problem, say: Try to work each problem. Do not skip ahead unless you do not know how to work a problem.
· If a student asks a question or requests clarification, say: I can’t help you. Work the problem as best you can. If you don’t understand the problem, you may move on to the next problem.
· After 8 minutes, say: Stop and put down your pencil. Remind them to make sure they have their name, the teacher‘s name, and the date written on their probe in the correct place. Then collect the probes and any scratch paper.
Time:
Students receive thirty minutes of direct small group instruction four days a week. Every Monday, students will take an AIMSWeb M-Cap Probe. The instructor will read the test administration directions for the first three minutes. Students will be given eight minutes to complete the probe. The remaining nineteen minutes will be spent grading the tests using the correct answer key and then reviewing commonly missed problems.
Place
The test will be administered at St. James School: Horry County School District
in South Carolina. The classroom is my STEM Lab, where students come during their scheduled Mathematics Intervention time.
Schedule
Week 1: September 23, 2019
Week 2: September 30, 2019
Week 3: October 7, 2019
Week 4: October 14, 2019
Environment
Each student needs a clean desk or table space. For this specific study students used tables. Their area will need to be large enough to hold the test packet and a sheet of scratch paper. Students should be spread out enough that they are unable to cheat or copy answers from one another. For this particular study, each student was at a different table in different areas of the STEM Lab. The testing environment should be quiet and free of distractions.
