and be able to do at the end of the lesson(s)
I can statements
Student friendly language
Measurable
Should be completed in one block of time

Non - Negotiables/ Givens

Criteria for Success- I Will statements that

specifically outline what the students need to do in
order to achieve their learning goal.
1 I will statement roughly every 15 minutes
At least 1 I will statement that reflects rigor
(What is rigor for you?)

Common Core Standard, Learning

Target and Criteria For Success
I can find the area of a rectangle with accurate fractional
side lengths.

CCSS.Math.Content.5.NF.B.4b
Find the area 1of a rectangle with fractional
side lengths by tiling it with unit squares of the
appropriate unit fraction side lengths, and show
that the area is the same as would be found by
multiplying the side lengths. Multiply fractional
side lengths to find areas of rectangles, and
represent fraction products as rectangular
areas.

Criteria For Success

I will read problems related to area.
I will use unit tiles to calculate area
I will explain a process in solving the problems
I will solve problems by multiplying fractional length x
fractional width
I will defend my solution

Group Activity
In your grade level, think about a
standard that you will be teaching soon.
Write learning targets and criteria for
success for a week.
