Narrative Assessment - Math: Term 2

Learner: Ameerah                     Learning Coach: Abby Morgan              Date: 8 June 2015

Learning Area: Math

Learning Observed

During our math workshops we have been beginning addition by identifying what numbers under 10 plus one more equal. We began by gathering 11 beans and two cups. Ameerah was able to correctly collect the right number of beans and cups. I asked if she could solve 4+1 and recorded this on the whiteboard. Ameerah collected four beans and placed them in one cup and added one bean to the other cup. I asked her how many beans she had altogether to which she told me five. Ameerah counted from one using the beans to solve the equation.

Evidence of learning

Ameerah is able to gather sets to help solve equations.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ameerah was developing the vision principles of being capable as well as extending the key competencies of using language, symbols and texts, and thinking skills. She was applying her knowledge of numbers to extend her existing capabilities. Ameerah was also utilising effective thinking skills to recall and apply new learning.

Next Learning Steps

Provide number before and after activities to assist Ameerah in developing her instant recall of numbers before and after to 20 Practice one to one counting to 30 Use different materials to solve adding one addition problems to 10
