Learning Observed

Today we had all the girls line themselves up from shortest to tallest and all the boys line themselves up from shortest to tallest. Then they all came and sat back together on the mat. I asked the Learners how could we find out if the boys were the shortest or the girls were the shortest? and if the boys were the tallest or the girls were the tallest? The Learners all pondered this. Some suggested that we needed all the Learners to line up from tallest to shortest. I said that it would work, but we could do it without having to use everyone. Shams then said that we could get the shortest girl and the shortest boy and measure them and the tallest girl and tallest boy and measure them to figure it out. We then did as he suggested.

Evidence of learning

Shams was able to problem solve to work out how to solve this problem. I wonder if he problem solves at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Shams was able to Connect his idea with what he had just done with how the problem could be solved (Thinking). He was able to share his idea with the other Learners (Participating and Contributing).
