Learning Area:  Mathematics

Learning Observed

Today Eric and his maths group were learning to add three numbers together with Mrs Hooker.  They did this by rolling three dice, then using the best strategy to add the three numbers together - either by first adding two numbers together to make ten, or by using their known basic facts to first add two numbers, then the remaining number. Eric was quick to identify the numbers and use his basic fact knowledge to calculate the answer.

Evidence of learning

Eric joined in with a large group to play a maths addition game Eric patiently waited his turn to share his answer

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Eric Connected this game with prior knowledge by Thinking about and recalling the basic facts to solve the problems.  He was Capable of waiting for his turn (Managing Self) to share his answer; allowing others time to think and come up with their own answers. Eric is able to identify numbers and is beginning to use a clearer voice to share his ideas (Using Language, Symbols and Text).
