Narrative Assessment - Maths - 2 March 2016

Learner:  Tavleen              Learning Coach:   Megan Croll                 Date:   2 March 2016

Learning Area:  Maths

Learning Observed

In maths, we have been trying to ‘count on’ rather than ‘count all’.  Tavleen has been learning a new strategy in maths to help with ‘counting on’.   When adding two numbers together, Tavleen needs to identify the biggest number, then add on the smaller number.   She has been trying to add on the smaller number in her head, but can also draw a number line to provide support with this addition strategy.   Tavleen has been using a whiteboard to show her thinking and solution to the problem 3 + 6 = ?

Evidence of learning

Tavleen has successfully used a number line to show her understanding of using the strategy ‘biggest number first’.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Tavleen has been Using Language, Symbols and Text to solve maths problems.  She has been thinking about this new strategy and proved, through her successs, that she is a capable Learner.

Next Learning Steps

Teach this strategy to another Learner Use larger numbers, e.g. 5 + 17 = ? Apply this strategy to number stories
