These I Can Statements are based on the common core math standards. There is one statement (or multiple statements) depending on the skill for each 5th grade common core standard. A link to an editable version is included if you need to modify or tweak the statements based on your specific state requirements.
Each I Can Statement Page Includes:
Here some ideas for using these Math I Can Statements:
1. Hang them for on the wall, a bulletin board, or on your dry-erase board as your daily objectives. This will allow your students to see what they are learning each week.
2. Use the I Can Statements to focus your small group math instruction. I like to tape a page protector to the center of my table. Then I can easily slide in the I Can Statement and refer to it during instruction.
3. Place them in math centers with the directions and center materials. A few years ago, I started doing this so my students could easily see the connection between the math centers and what we were learning in math. Also, the students could refer to the statement to help them verbalize what they were practicing if administration asked.
4. Use the statements to guide self-assessment. Refer to the I Can Statement and have the students do an informal self-assessment on their master of the skill.
I like to store my I Can Statements in a binder inside page protectors. This keeps them organized and ready-to-go year after year.
