Learning Target Draft

This is an introductory unit of symmetry for second grade. I looked at the Mathematical Empasis of my teacher's guide and the state standards to create these learning targets. Please give me any feedback, so that I can improve them. Thanks.

Mastery
Verbs: define, describe, label, give examples, categorize

(2) Students will compose and decompose two- and three-dimensional shapes.
Mastery
Verbs: demonstrate, change, manipulate, use, create

(3) Students will investigate halves of two- and three-dimensional solids.
Mastery
Verbs: identify, generalize, infer, give examples, separate

(4) Students will design and construct a rectangular region that is divided into halves, thirds, or fourths.
Mastery
Verbs: break down, distinguish, compare, design, compose

(5) Students will find and describe objects that have mirror symmetry.
Mastery

  1. I would try and be more descriptive in your learning targets. What you have does not give you a basic idea of what you are trying to teach or assess. I really like your use of bloom in your target. I think you tried to incorporate a higher level of cognitive development in your targets.
