Student Goals Timeline for Learning Division

Student Goals Timeline
Use the “Student Goals Timeline” template to create:
* A student-friendly timeline to visually represent the student’s progress in learning for one month
* A schedule to collaborate with the student to discuss progress towards the goals for one month
* Identified points when family collaboration will occur
* The final assessment that will be used to determine if the long-term and short-term goals were met through the planned learning activities.
In addition, write a 250-500 word rationale which includes the following:
* The importance of developing an organized, student-friendly method for documenting students’ goals and tracking progress
* How the timeline allows the student to analyze their assessment results and set goals for their future learning.
* How the timeline increases transparency for the students on their progress for the student, family, and educational support staff.
* Why assessment results should be used to adjust instructional elements to meet the individual needs of students
Support your findings with 1-2 scholarly resources.

Week 1 – Goal – Learn division with the remainder using the long division model

Connecting division patterns and breaking down large numbers
By the end of this class, students should be able to recognize patterns between numbers to help make their workings easier.
This should be evident in how they work out division tasks.

Assignments and review of the previous day’s work
The goal here is to ensure that students capture the previous day’s strategy.
Students will thus be subjected to multiple division tasks and be required to identify the patterns and show their work out of the division tasks.

Division through subtraction
Students should grasp the concept of using groups to get multiples of the divisor that are closer to the dividend.
For example, students should not only grasp the concept but be able to know that while dividing 1024 by 5, they should pick 100 to multiply by 5, and not 10 or 1000. Also, they should be able to explain why.

A review of the previous day’s strategy
Devoted to helping students understand the previous day’s strategy. Students will be subjected to various tasks that will stretch their understanding of the different tasks.
They should show an understanding of the different tricks.

Friendly numbers
Can students identify friendly numbers? How should they split a number until they get friendly or friendlier numbers to divide?
These are the questions they should be able to answer or show an understanding of the same.

Week 2 - Goal – Understand and make use of the area model of division

Review of previous week’s work.
Emphasis will be on Friday’s tasks as well as a review of homework.

Area model of division. Drawing a rectangle and knowing the positions to assign the dividend and the divisor.
Students should know which number between the dividend and divisor is the area and the width. This is the key to knowing which numbe...
