Narrative Assessment - Maths - 10 May 2016

Learner:  Marcus         Learning Coach:   Megan Croll               Date:   10 May 2016

Learning Area:   Maths

Learning Observed

Marcus have been working on his number knowledge in Stage 4 which includes counting forwards and backwards to 100 in 2s, 5s and 10.   He has also been learning about place value for ones, tens and hundreds. We start most maths sessions with a number game and I was excited to see that Marcus and his friends were independently playing ‘Guess My Number’, one of the games that I had taught them.

Evidence of learning

Marcus was keeping his friends guessing his three digit number.   They had to correctly guess the number in the ones, tens and hundreds columns.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Marcus was collaborating with others to learn through this maths game.  He was enthusiastic and motivated to be the one that knew the number.   Marcus was able to relate to others by listening and respecting their suggestions, even when they were wrong.  He was managing self  by organising the equipment and space for the game; as well as making sure that all the Learners had a turn at guessing.

Next Learning Steps

Teach the game to some other Learners Include the ‘thousands’ place value column Play the game at home

Narrative Assessment - Reading - 10 May 2016

Learning Observed

Marcus has been working on reading for meaning and pausing to think about whether the words that he is saying are the same that are on the page.   Today I asked Marcus to read a page of a book from Level Red.   We talked about cats and what they like to do.

Evidence of Learning

Marcus noticed that he mixed up the words and self-corrected himself.

Vision Principles and Key Competencies

Marcus was able to connect the text with his knowledge about cats and how they like to chase birds. He is Using Language, Symbols and Text to help identify errors.

Next Steps

• Reading with greater fluency
• Reading 10-15 minutes each day at home
• Concentrating on what he is reading and self-correcting errors

Narrative Assessment - iExplore - 6 May 2016

Learner: Marcus        Learning Coach: Stephanie Hooker             Date: 6 May 2016

Learning Area: iExplore

Learning Observed

During iExplore this week Marcus really enjoyed experimenting with the equipment to create a moving go cart. He was very proud of his finished result. Other learners were caught up in his enthusiasm, and Marcus took a leadership role in directing others.

Evidence of learning

Marcus thoroughly enjoys moving and working outside. I wonder if next time he will allow his peers to contribute and design a moving vehicle?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Collaboration: Marcus allowed others to contribute as he directed them on where they could add parts of the vehicle Thinking:  Marcus had a clear idea of how he wanted the go cart to work Capabilities & Relating to Others:  Marcus is developing his ability to allow others to include their own ideas

Next Learning Steps

Create another moving vehicle Allow others to contribute in their own individual way
