Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - 8 June 2015

Learner: Owen            Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg              Date: 8 June 2015

Learning Area: Mathematics - Numeracy

Learning Observed

Today I completed a Numeracy Knowledge Assessment on Owen. First he had to read the numerals 1-9 that were shown in a random order. Owen was able to correctly identify all the numbers, except a 6, he read that as an 8. Next I asked Owen to count forwards to 10. He could also do this. Then count backwards from 10, which he could do as well. Then I asked him to read the numerals 10-20 shown in a random order. He was only able to correctly identify numbers 18 and 19. Then I asked him to count forwards. He reached 14 and then missed numerals and said random numbers. Next I showed him the numerals 1-9 in a random order and asked him to say what came before 2, before 7, before 5 etc. He got some of these correct. Lastly I again showed him the numerals 1-9 in a random order and asked him to say what came after 2, after 7, after 5 etc. He also go some of these correct.

Evidence of learning

Owen was able to recognise the numerals 1-9. I wonder if he practises this at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Owen is developing his Capabilities in numeral recognition and counting. He is sequencing numerals in his head when counting (Thinking). Owen is learning to read different numbers (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps

Explicit teaching on counting to 15. Explicit teaching on numeral recognition 10-20 and 6 Explicit teaching on what number comes before and after from 1-9.
