Narrative Assessment: Term 2 Math

Learner: Shams                    Learning Coach: Abby Morgan              Date: 12 June 2015

Learning Area: Math

Learning Observed

As part of our Math workshops we have been focusing on developing instant recall of addition facts to 10. We have been practicing solving and recalling simple addition of numbers under 10 plus one, some doubles, and other addition facts. To test out our knowledge we played ‘Addition Splat!’ As I called out the addition facts the learners had to race to answer the question. Shams has practiced and developed quick recall of the equations. He is developing good strategies to solve unknown equations and is attending to his new learning. Shams was able to recall 3+1 by using materials (fingers) as seen in the video here.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Shams was demonstrating the school Vision Principle of Capable and Collaborative. He was applying himself to his learning and was engaged in the activity that extended his knowledge. Shams was able to work alongside others and when faced with an equation he couldn’t solve worked with his peers to find the answer. He was also applying the Key Competencies of thinking as he instantly recalled facts and was using language, symbols and texts as he listened to questions as they were asked and found the correct answers.
