Narrative Assessment - Maths - 25 February 2016


Learner: Owen            Learning Coach: Megan Croll           Date: 25 February 2016
Learning Area: Maths
Learning Observed
Today the Learners were learning to add two numbers together by finding the biggest number.  We tried to work out the problem by imaging the number in our head, then used a number line to check how many jumps we did to find the sum.

Owen was able to identify the biggest number and then rewrite the problem by writing the biggest number, then adding on the smaller number.   Owen then drew a number line to help solve the problem.
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Owen is developing his Capabilities in Maths by learning this addition strategy.  He was able to work by himself and use equipment correctly to solve a problem (Managing Self and Thinking).  Owen is able to form his numbers correctly and understands number ordering up to 20 (Using Language, Symbols and Text).
Next Learning Steps
  • Teach this strategy to another Learner
  • Use this strategy to add numbers greater than 20, e.g. 7+22=
  • Share learning with home.

At the start of the term we administered our Junior Knowledge Numeracy test to find our gaps in Mathematics. We set our self goals for how much we are wanting to achieve in one term. We have worked really hard with learning activities and in Learning Coach directed groups to achieve this goal. Now at the end of the term we have achieved our goal. We are pleased with the work we have done this term.
