Fall 2019
Identification of Learning Problem
The target audience is four 6th grade Math classes at Willie J Williams Middle School in
Moultrie, Georgia. There are 107 students enrolled in these classes and their ages range from 11
to 12 years of age. On the 2018-2019 Georgia Milestone State Assessment, 95% of these
The problem is 95% of this targeted group of 6th graders scored either a 1 or 2 on the
GMAS, meaning they were not prepared for the test as 5th graders. There were 49% Beginning
Learners and 46% Developing Learners. The domains they performed lowest in were Number
and Operations in Base 10, and also Number and Operations – Fractions. Other data to back
these findings is the Fall Math Diagnostic test in i-Ready with 91% being one or more grade
levels below with Number and Operations being the domain where they performed the lowest.
For 6th grade the Number System domain counts 30% of the total test which is a big part of the
test. There needs to be some targeted instruction in Number Sense with the group that is two or
more grade levels below to increase their performance to Developing Learners or Proficient
Learners.
The goal for instruction for this group of sixth grade Math students is to increase their
Number Sense knowledge. By increasing their Number Sense knowledge, each student will be
able to show a gain of one grade level and move up one level on the 2020 GMAS.
Learner Analysis
General Characteristics
Willie J. Williams is a middle school in Colquitt County that includes 6th and 7th grades.
Willie J. Williams has a population that is 51% economically disadvantaged. The students in this
group of sixth graders are from 11 to 12 years old. There are 47 students that scored at the
Beginning Learner level and 45 students that scored at the Developing Learners level on the
Hispanic/Latinos, 32 Whites and 3 multi-racial. Eight students are English learners and 16 are
students with disabilities. There are 52 males and 50 females. Out of this group of students
there are 32 that are identified with ADD/ADHD and are on medication to help them focus.
Entry Characteristics
Students were tested this Fall using i-Ready as a benchmark to see where they were
beginning school. There were two students that scored at a kindergarten level, five scored at a 1st
grade level, nine scored at a 2nd grade level, sixteen scored at a 3rd grade level, twenty-five scored
at a 4th grade level and forty-four scored a 5th grade level. Only four students scored on grade
level with three of those being early 6th and one being mid-6th grade. One female student is new
to the system this year and is an English Learner who speaks, writes and reads very little English.
We have Chromebook laptops that are shared between two classes. Students are very
comfortable using these computers in class. They have been using them to take Unit tests and
Disabilities
Thirteen of the students in this group of sixth graders are receiving special education
services. These students are identified with a SLD (Specific Learning Disability) or OHI (Other
Health Impairment). Ten students have been identified with a SLD and three with OHI. One
student that is identified with a SLD is also EBD and has a BIP (Behavior Intervention Plan). He
has been well behaved and very attentive in class. Most of these students are in the group that
has ADD/ADHD.
A Math interest inventory was given to each student. Most of the students indicated that
they like to work in small groups. Another learning environment that many students indicated
they preferred was working in pairs. The students that are quiet in class prefer to work alone.
Most of the students responded on the survey that they liked Math class and thought it was fun
because you get to learn something new each day. Most of students have a positive attitude
towards Math class. The students also like being able to work on the Chromebooks certain days
and when their work is completed, they can use the game Prodigy to continue to work on their
math skills. There were only three students that thought math is hard and not a subject they
liked. A few interests they had in class was to practice on dry erase boards, do math projects, do
activities in workstations, do math on the computer and learn in a small group with the teacher.
Some of the students had a goal of learning all the math they can because it is a very important
subject in life. Counting money was their number one reason for learning math.
Task Analysis
A topic analysis will be used to provide a breakdown of the concepts that will be taught
to students in the Number Sense domain to help students develop a better understanding and
show a gain on the GMAS in the Spring. The concepts focus will be rational numbers and
computing fluently with multi-digit numbers. The analysis includes strategies of each concept
and manipulatives that will be used to teach the concepts. The flow chart represents a visual of
