Narrative Assessment - Maths - 28 July 2016

Learner:  Elham        Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2             Date:   28 July 2016

Learning Area:  Maths

Learning Observed

Today during iDevelop, a group of Learners were using materials to explore place value of tens and ones.    I asked Elham to find out how many ‘ones’ cubes she would need to make a ‘ten’.  This understanding is important as it will support her thinking when she begins to add numbers in which the total is greater than its place value, e.g. 7+6 = one ten and 3 ones. Elham was then asked to count out the number of ‘ones’ cubes and ‘tens’ sticks to make a given number.   She needed support to understand that each cube had a value of one.

Evidence of learning

Elham carefully gathered the materials that she needed to make the number 57

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Elham demonstrated that she was: Connected -  listening to the learning conversations and showing that she understood how the shape of each piece represented a number, with support Capable - beginning to understand place value and correcting her original answer by making adjustments to the number of cubes that she used Thinking about the question and task, then proceeding to gather the cubes and sticks that she required Using Language, Symbols and Text  - using two digit numbers Managing Self  - able to use the equipment appropriately and remain on task until she had completed it

Next Learning Steps

Use the equipment independently to make more two digit numbers Teach someone else to use the place value equipment Use the ‘hundreds’ square to make a three digit number
