Learning Area:  Maths

Learning Observed

The Black Gibbons have been investigating what it means to classify objects.  This is part of the geometry strand in maths, level 1.   The Learners were placed in mixed ability groups of 4-5, then they rotated through three different activities where they were asked to work as a team to discuss the objects and find different ways to classify (group) them.   Ekamjot worked with her group to first group the objects by colour, then to separate the colours and group them according to their shape.  In their next rotation, Ekamjot supported others in her group to classify some wooden shapes.   They put them into three groups - one group of shapes that were rounded, another group of shapes had point and the third group were classified as cubed shapes.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ekamjot worked in a collaborative way by thinking and acting with her team.  She was able to share her ideas with the other Learners in her team and listen to their ideas. Ekamjot demonstrated that she is capable of listening to, and following a set of instructions.   She was required to think about the learning taking place and understand what the other members in her group were doing when they were creating new groups with the materials.  Ekamjot was able to manage herself by remaining on task and moving to the next rotation when instructed.
