Narrative Assessment - Maths - 28 July 2016

Learner:  Kaiariki         Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2             Date:   28 July 2016

Learning Area:  Maths

Learning Observed

Today during iDevelop, a group of Learners were using materials to explore place value of hundreds, tens and ones.    I asked the Learners to find out how many ‘ones’ cubes they would need to make a ‘ten’, then how many ‘tens’ to make a ‘hundred’.  This understanding is important as it will support their thinking when they begin to add numbers in which the total is greater than its place value, e.g. 7+6 = one ten and 3 ones. The Learners then were asked to count out the number of ‘ones’ cubes, ‘tens’ sticks and ‘hundreds’ squares to make a given number.

Evidence of learning

Kaiariki used the correct amount of ones, tens and hundreds to create the number 135.  She needed some support to place the materials in the correct place value order.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Kaiariki demonstrated that she was: Connected - taking part in the learning conversations and showing that she understood how the shape of each piece represented a number Capable - beginning to understand place value and correcting her original answer by making adjustments to the arrangement of the materials, with support Thinking about the question and task, then proceeding to gather the cubes and sticks that she required Using Language, Symbols and Text  - using three digit numbers Managing Self  - able to use the equipment appropriately and remain on task until she had completed it

Next Learning Steps

Use the equipment independently to make more three digit numbers Teach someone else to use the place value equipment Use the equipment to add two numbers together
