In Maths, as part of Problem Solving we have put our learners into groups of four. As learning coaches, we have placed them into mixed abilities for the purposes of collaborating and based on the Key Competencies. Problem solving in maths requires our learners to work in a smaller group to solve word number problems. 

Ameerah has been working with other learners to develop her collaborative skills. She shows her capabilities by using materials and sharing her ideas within her group. Ameerah is beginning to use her curiosity by asking questions and making connections with her prior knowledge to help her during these sessions.
