Math Learning Target

I can...

• Estimate quotients with 2-digit divisors.
• Use compatible numbers to estimate quotients.
• Solve multi-step problems by finding hidden questions.

Written As A Question

• What are compatible numbers?
• How can you use compatible numbers to estimate quotients?
• Is all data needed when solving a problem?

Learning Targets

Standard: Energy flows through an ecosystem from producers to consumers to decomposers.
These relationships can be shown for specific populations on a food web.

Learning Targets

Where We May Start...

• I can identify a producer.
• I can identify a consumer.
• I can identify a decomposer.
• (These are Recall kinds of targets)

Where to Next?

I can organize producers, consumers, and decomposers into a food chain.
(This is a skill/concept based target.)

Continuing to Move...

I can draw a labeled food web showing the relationships and energy transfers in an ecosystem's plant and animal populations.
(Strategic Thinking)

Ultimately...

I can describe how a change in one population might affect all of the populations in a food web.
(Extended Thinking)

Article

'When teachers began sharing learning targets, their early efforts were tentative and inconsistent."

"Yet even their exploratory attempts became game changers."

"Students are now more actively engaged in their lessons as full-fledged learning partners."

"Learning targets have no inherent power."
