Learner:  Ameerah                  Learning Coach: Michelle Lennon - LH2     Date:   8 August 2016

Learning Area:  Maths

NZC Achievement Objective:  Use a range of counting, grouping, and equal-sharing strategies with whole numbers and fractions.

Learning Observed

During iDevelop Ameerah has been learning to count on using the biggest number first. Using a game of Snakes and Ladders, Ameerah has been learning how to recognise the patterns on a pair of dice, locate the bigger number and keep this in her head while she adds on the smaller number. After rolling the two dice, Ameerah identifies the biggest number shown.  Then she puts this into her head and holds it there while she works out what number is on the other dice.  Ameerah is using her fingers to help track how many more she needs to count on before moving her counter on the game board.

Evidence of learning

Here Ameerah is putting the bigger number into her head and counting on using her fingers to track the smaller number.

During this learning, Ameerah demonstrated that she was: Connected - actively taking part in learning conversations and activities. Capable - understanding that counting on is easiest from the biggest number. Collaborative - participating and assisting others in learning activities. Managing Self  - able to use equipment in an appropriate manner.
