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.
