Math Progress Monitoring | Addition & Subtraction Within 20 (Set 1: Foundation)

IEP-Aligned Word Problems | SPED Intervention

This resource provides structured, IEP-aligned progress monitoring for single-step addition and subtraction word problems within 20.

Set 1 is designed as the foundation level, offering structured support to help students learn how to approach and solve word problems while allowing teachers to collect consistent, objective data across trials.

Students identify key information, select the correct operation, and write a corresponding equation, making this ideal for monitoring problem-solving accuracy and early independence.

📘 What’s Included:

• IEP-aligned math goal

• 4 parallel progress monitoring trials

• 5 word problems per trial

• Clear scoring system (15 points per trial)

• Quick reference guide (administration + scoring)

• Data recording sheet

• Defined mastery criteria (80% accuracy in 3 of 4 trials)

🧠 Skills Assessed:

• Single-step addition and subtraction
• Operation selection
• Writing math equations
• Foundational math problem-solving skills

🎯 Designed For:

• Grades 1–3

• Special education classrooms

• RTI / MTSS intervention

• Students working toward IEP math goals

• Students needing structured support with word problems

This resource may also be appropriate for older students who require foundational math support.

📝 Instructional Notes

• Word problems may be read aloud as needed.
• Visual supports (equation box, checklist, number line) may be used.
• Teachers may clarify directions but should not model solutions.
• Scoring is based on observable student responses only.
• This resource is intended for progress monitoring, not direct instruction.
