Shaun, Nehaal, Shreya, Natasha and Amin's Fractions Learning Story

Learners: Shaun, Nehaal, Shreya, Natasha & Amin     Learning Coach: T.Dillner/K.McCann           Date: 16.10.15

Learning Area: iDevelop - Maths

Learning Observed and Vision Principles

In Maths, the Green group has recently been learning about fractions and how these can be represented as a shaded area of a whole or as a numerical value (decimal). Shaun, Nehaal, Shreya, Natasha and Amin were given a set of cards to make sets to represent all of the different ways to show a fractions value. They all showed that they were curious about this concept as they remained engaged with the task, giving their full attention to seeing it through to the end. All five learners had to collectively share their knowledge and collaboratively match all of the cards correctly. From this, they were able to see the connections between the different ways a fraction can be recorded.

Next Learning Steps

To build on this collaborative knowledge, take the time to complete other Capability Tasks independently which will solidify new learning. Be sure to ask questions to clarify thinking when needed. Teach this concept to another learner or support them in their learning if they are confused.

Shreya's Mathematics Narrative Assessment

Learner: Shreya   (cm)                                                 Date: June 2015

Learning Area: Maths - Measurement                             Learning Coach: John Dyer

Learning Observed

Shreya was recently working as part of a big group on a measurement task. She first applied her previous measurement learning experiences to this task and approximated sensibly. Shreya then collaborated when measuring a variety of wooden rods. These were used to measure the length and width of a room. Shreya was able to use her place value knowledge when converting centimetres to metres and then multiplication skills to see how many times each rod fitted across the room. It was good to see Shreya being both an active listener and offering ideas for how the problem could be solved.

Evidence of learning

Shreya is collaborating with Karis to estimate the length of the room but is so busy smiling for the camera, that she misses Karis stealing away the longest rod and leaving Shreya with the smallest!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles being demonstrated

Thinking - Making sense of information, experiences and ideas. Using language, symbols, and texts - Making sense of words, numbers and images. Managing self - knowing when to lead, when to follow and when to act independently. Relating to others - Interacting effectively in a range of contexts. Participating and contributing - Being actively involved in school and the community Curious Collaborative Connected Capable

Next Learning Steps

Apply learning around measurement of length to other areas of measurement including weight and volume. Continue to develop basic facts knowledge. This will include instant recall of addition and subtraction facts to 20 and instant recall of multiplication facts for the 2, 5, 10 x tables. This will progress to the 3, 6, 9 x tables, the 4 and 8 x and finally 7 x tables.
