This study aims to determine success criteria-based (self-assessment) strategies for mathematics sixth-grade students. This study is, therefore, specific to the sixth-grade students of the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). It aligns with the U.A.E. 2031 vision for education, and the study explores the importance of the 2031 vision by analyzing the importance of self-assessment strategy as a success-based criterion. This study used a quasi-experimental design; the study method is primarily qualitative, which involved 120 students from sixth grade at a U.A.E. school (Al Khair Public School in Al Ain). Two classes were selected as an experimental group (60 students) and another two as a controlled group (60 students). Data analysis encompassed descriptive and inferential statistics, including independent t-tests in SPSS. The findings revealed a significant improvement in mathematics achievement among students exposed to success criteria-based self- assessment compared to traditional assessment methods, with a mean score difference of 10.572 (p < 0.05). Additionally, the analysis of M.A.P. test scores showcased a substantial median score difference of 15.92 in favor of the success criteria-based self-assessment group, further reinforcing the effectiveness of this approach in promoting long-term academic growth and proficiency in mathematical concepts. Success criteria enhanced teacher clarity, student learning, and self- regulation abilities. Recommendations are provided for the success of criteria-based self- assessment in teaching practices and policy frameworks to improve student engagement and academic performance. Future research directions involve exploring diverse populations, conducting longitudinal studies, and comparing different self-assessment strategies for effective implementation in education.
