Learning Area: Mathematics

Learning Observed

I was working with Evie and Ekamjot on an activity to discover how many different ways they could make 5. They were able to easily show different ways they could make 5 using their fingers and were able to record this in their learning book.  They both found this easy and started to discuss which other numbers they could make. Evie went to get the magnetic beads and made a group of 8, Ekamjot noticed that Evie had 4 orange, 1 black, 1 blue, 1 white and 1 red bead and wondered how we could record this, we recorded 4 +1+1+1 +1 on a whiteboard. The girls then started working on different groupings within 8 and recording their discoveries on a white board.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Evie and Ekamjot showed they were able to Collaborate on a shared activity (Relating to Others). They were Capable of showing their discoveries on whiteboards and in their learning books (Using Language Symbols and Texts). Once they had shown they were capable of completing their first task they showed their curiosity by wondering if they could apply the same strategy to different numbers. (Thinking)

Next Learning Steps

working with groupings to 20 recording independently in books using numerals sharing their learning at home
