Skip Counting

Learner: Zsofia	Date: 11.11.17
Learning Area: Maths Level One Number strategies Use a range of counting, grouping, and equal-sharing strategies with whole numbers and fractions. Equations and expressions Communicate and explain counting, grouping, and equal-sharing strategies, using words, numbers, and pictures.	Learning Coach: P.L
Learning Observed
In Maths, we have been learning to use our basic addition and subtraction facts to help us solve harder problems. We are now using these to help us solve multiplication problems. Zsofia is engaging with her maths and is beginning to show her capability in solving tricky word problems. She is able to collaborate and explain her thinking with other learners around her. Zsofia is now making connections of using the strategies we’ve learned like skip counting and repeated addition to help her solve multiplication problems.

Zsofia reads Turquoise

Learner: Zsofia	Date: 6 November, 2017
Learning Area: English Reading Level One identifies the purposes of simple texts evaluates the usefulness of simple texts is developing the ability to think critically about texts begins to monitor, self-evaluate, and describe progress.	Learning Coach: P.L
Learning Observed
In Literacy for reading, we have been learning to think about the author’s point of view and to find proof in the text to support our answers. The Turquoise group are learning to demand meaning from the text that they read and begin to make inferences.  Zsofia has been learning to use the text to find the sentence that she thinks best shows the picture. During our discussions, learners are expected to share and listen to others. Learners can debate amongst each other to decide which sentence best shows the picture in the text.

Adding and Subtracting Tens

Learner: Zsofia	Date: 8 June, 2017
Learning Area: Maths Level One and Two Use a range of counting, grouping, and equal-sharing strategies with whole numbers and fractions. Know the forward and backward counting sequences of whole numbers to 100.	Learning Coach: P.L
Learning Observed
In Maths, we have been learning to add and subtract tens by counting on in tens from any number to 100. We have a rule that if we add and subtract tens, then only the tens change and the ones stay the same. We have been learning place value games to help support our learning. Zsofia showed curiosity by listening carefully to questions asked and to feedback given to improve her understanding. She is being collaborative by working with other learners around her and sharing her ideas. Zsofia is beginning to show capability by circling the tens in equations and adding them together. This does not involve renaming or bridging tens.
