Maths Narrative Assessment

Learner:  Eric    Learning Coach: Michelle Lennon - LH2    Date:   15 August 2016

Learning Area:  Maths

NZC Achievement Objective:  Use a range of counting, grouping, and equal-sharing strategies with whole numbers and fractions.

Learning Observed

During iDevelop Eric has been learning to solve problems using doubles. As part of this activity Eric has learnt that using doubles to solve simple addition problems can be a quick and effective strategy.  Eric solved a range of problems using doubles by initially using counters to show how he was working the problems out. To solve to problem 8 + 6, Eric doubled 6 and then added a 2 (6+6+2) to get to 14.

Evidence of learning

Here Eric shows his working out by doubling 6 and adding 2 to find the answer.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Eric demonstrated that he was: Connected - actively taking part in learning conversations and activities. Capable - understanding that numbers can be split in a number of different ways. Collaborative - participating and assisting others in learning activities. Managing Self  - able to use equipment in an appropriate manner.

Next Learning Steps

Use doubling to solve simple problems. Begin solving subtraction problems by using halves.

iExplore Narrative Assessment - 8 August 2016

Learner:  Eric   Learning Coach: Michelle Lennon - LH2      Date:   8 August 2016

Learning Area:  iExplore

NZC Achievement Objective:  Students will gain knowledge, skills, and experience to understand that people have different roles and responsibilities  as part of their participation in groups.

Learning Observed

As part of our iExplore Eric has been collaboratively building an Olympic village over a three day period. On the first day Eric worked primarily on his own using the blocks to build a pool house for the Olympic village.  The next day Eric began working with others to build a range of new buildings by participating in discussions and ensuring a vast range of building were being made. On the last day of building Eric was a key member in the building team, ensuring that all the buildings created by his peers were linked together with pathways so the ‘athletes’ could walk around the village comfortable.  It was great to see Eric encouraging others during this collaborative activity.

Evidence of learning

Here Eric is actively involved in making a pool house for the Olympic village.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Eric demonstrated that he was: Connected - actively taking part in all learning activities. Capable - understanding that an Olympic village needs various buildings. Collaborative - discussing and negotiating with others. Managing Self  - able to use equipment in an appropriate manner.

Next Learning Steps

Share your knowledge about Olympic village needs. Help others to collaborate and build things together.
