Narrative Assessment - Term 2 Math

Learner: Marcus                    Learning Coach: Abby Morgan             Date: 11 June 2015

Learning Area: Math

Learning Observed

We having been learning about the different ways to create teen numbers using beans and cups. We began by taking ten beans and putting them into one cup. Marcus took his ten beans and put them together to make one set of ten. We discussed how it is important to remember that the cup will always have ten beans in it if we don’t take any out. I asked Marcus to hold the number ten in his head and then to add five more beans to the other cup. I asked what maths tools he had used to find out what ten and five more was. He told me that the answer was 15 and he solved it by counting on from 10. Marcus was able to create ten and five as well as ten and two.
