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.

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

Narrative Assessment - 17th June 2016


Learner: Elham                    Learning Coach: T Morgan        Date: 17th June 2016
Learning Area: iDevelop - Mathematics
Learning Observed
Today Elham chose to complete some number exercises during her independent learning time. She chose to practice her counting and writing numerals and successfully completed numbers 1-20 with her numerals and counting improving.
Evidence of learning







Elham was practising her numbers to 20. I wonder if she can do her numbers to 30 next?
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Elham was developing her Capabilities in maths, whilst Collaborating with her peers. She was working with others, taking turns to write the numbers so that they could all have a turn at every number (Relating to Others; Participating and Contributing). Elham was Thinking about her numbers and how the numerals were formed, followed by putting the cards in numerical order (Managing Self).
Next Learning Steps
  • Write numerals without the number cards.
  • Write the words for the numbers.
  • Write numbers to 30.
  • Share learning with home.

Elham Narrative Assessment - Term 2 Literacy.


Learner: Elham                     Learning Coach: Abby Morgan              Date: 12 June 2015
Learning Area: Literacy - Writing
Learning Observed
As part of developing learners ability to write we are learning the shapes and symbols of the Casey the Caterpillar programme. During the programme the learners focus on developing their fine motor control and work towards accurate shape formation and position. As we have progressed with this learning Elham has developed her ability to accurately form the shapes and is able to identify most shapes when asked. Since beginning she has extended the number of letters she is correctly forming. Elham has made great gains in formation and positioning as you can observe in her video below.
Evidence of learning
View Elham’s video here.
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Throughout the Casey the Caterpillar programme Elham has displayed the Vision Principle of Capable. She has demonstrated her ability to attend to a task and is developing her knowledge and skills. Elham has also shown her ability to apply Thinking Skills, and Use Language, Symbols and Texts as identified in the Key Competencies. She applies known skills and knowledge with unknown (thinking) and is developing her ability to use the written english language.
Next Learning Steps
  • Identify all Casey Shapes by sight
  • Introduce Elham to the remainder of the Casey the Caterpillar shapes
