PDSA/Fractal Data
8th Grade Math
Steps to Identify Areas of Need
• Decided to focus on 8th grade students in 8th grade math• Determined that I would like to see mastery at 80% and
above; worked with this number through data collection process
• Over the summer, reviewed AIMS data in order to identify preliminary areas of need
• Administered District Pre-Test first week of school• Confirmed areas of need and created a pre-test• Did progress monitoring midway through first quarter• Completed post-test during the last week of the quarter
SMART Goal
• Students will demonstrate an increased ability to master rational number operations by moving percentage of proficient students from 32% of students at mastery level to 80% at mastery level in a 5 week period ending October 15, 2010
