3. Instructional Objectives
Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student
compares and classifies two- and three-dimensional
figures using geometric vocabulary and properties.
Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student uses
coordinate geometry to describe location on a
plane.
Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student uses
geometry to model and describe the physical world.
4. Two Years From Now…
“After we implemented the
LMS, the students participants of
the program showed significant
growth on academic testing.”

How we will know that our learners have mastered, or
have failed to master the specific objectives of our
instructional opportunity?
Students will show mastery of the learning objectives
per objective by earning a 70% on the practice
STAAR exam (summative) at the end of the course.

6. Criterion-referenced
State of Texas Assessments of Academic
Readiness (STAAR™)
To find out whether an objective have been
achieved. Criterion-referenced assessments are
composed of items or performance tasks that
directly measure the skills and knowledge we are
trying to achieve.
Mathematical process skills are not assessed in
isolation but are incorporated into questions that
assess grade content. These process skills focus on
applying mathematics to solve
problems, communicating about
mathematics, and using logical reasoning.
