Learning Target and Success Criteria - 8th Grade Math



8th Grade Math
Strand – Algebra
Standard:
ü  PFA1.  Relate the various representations of a relationship; i.e., relate a table to graph, description and symbolic form.

Learning Target:
I can…relate tables, graphs, pictures and equations

Success Criteria (in order of teaching):
I can…
Ø  Make a table from a function.  Students will be given a function (for example: y  = 2x + 4).  They must be able to make an x and y table from this function
Ø  Identify a function from a table.  Students will be given different tables and must be able to find the relationship between x and y (the opposite of the first success criteria)
Ø  Graph a function from an equation or table.  Students will be able to take a function, make a table of the function, and show it on a coordinate grid
Ø  Identify a function from a picture or graph.  A picture or graph will be given.   Students must be able to make a table from this so they can identify the function that the picture or graph represents.
Ø  Relate tables, graphs, equations, and pictures.  Students must be able to explain that tables, graphs, equations and pictures are all different forms or ways of representing the same thing.  I tell students this is called “completing the set.”  We do 4 different activities where students show me that they can do this.  The first two are paper/pencil.  Given an equation, table, graph, OR picture, students will have to complete the other 3 elements.  The third activity a matching activity.  I have laminated tables, graphs, equations, and pictures.  Students have to match them up.  The last is the summative assessment.

  1. Amanda,
    Would it make sense to say: Understands that a relationship can be represented in various forms."? The success criteria you have then clearly tell the skills a student must learn to achieve the understanding" of the target.
    What do you think? Since I'm not a math teacher, I am never certain of my grasp of the content!

    Standard - 7.RL.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative meanings; analyze the impact on a story.

    Learning Target - I can identify similes and metaphors and analyze the impact they have on the text.

    Success Criteria -
    *Students will be able to define similes and metaphors.
    *Students will be able to identify similes and metaphors in a
    story.
    *Students will be able to analyze the simile and metaphor to
    determine what impact it has on the story.
    -Author uses figurative language to write creatively.
    -Readers should be able to use figurative language to
    make an inference.
    -Figurative language helps readers create a mental
    picture in their mind (imagery).
