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, the learners have been learning to identify simple fractions such as half using materials, numbers and shapes. We have been learning to use our knowledge of addition and multiplication to help us solve number problems using half. Zsofia has been learning to use more than one strategy to show her working out. Zsofia shows his curiosity by asking appropriate questions to help her understanding and thinking. She shows her capability by identifying halves of numbers by using her knowledge of doubles and skip counting in 2s.

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.

We have been learnings lots about paragraphs and how to plan our ideas effectively. Zsofia is beginning to build her sentences into paragraphs. She is capable by recognising that paragraphs have one main idea. Zsofia works collaboratively by orally co-constructing sentences with other learners around her and listens carefully to others share their ideas.
