Matthew and Maths

Learner: Matthew	Date: 21 September
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, the learners have been learning to use their basic addition and subtraction facts to help solve word number problems. They have also been learning to count on from the biggest number even if the smallest number is given first. Matthew is working collaboratively with other learners. He is a capable learner by proving his answers in his book.

iDevelop: Matthew and Maths

Learner: Matthew

Date: 10.04.17

Learning Area: LH1

Learning Coach: Priscilla Lavakula

NZ Curriculum Achievement Objectives

Use simple additive strategies with whole numbers and fractions
Know the basic and addition and subtraction facts

Learning Observed:

In maths we have been learning to solve word number problems. The exponents group have been learning to read and identify the most important parts of a word problem that will help them to solve it. The learners then, had to discuss what the problem was asking us to do ie. add, subtract, multiply or divide.

Key Competencies/ Vision Principles:

Matthew was curious and connected when modelling to and questioning during discussions that took place. He listened very carefully. Matthew showed capability by saying what kind of equation each word problem was and why.

Next Learning Steps:

Continue practicing your basic facts of addition and subtraction to 10

Maths Narrative Assessment -15 August 2016

Learner:  Matthew  Learning Coach: Michelle Lennon - LH2    Date:   15 August 2016

Learning Area:  Maths

NZC Achievement Objective:  Know groupings with five, within ten, and with ten.

Learning Observed

During iDevelop Matthew has been learning to solve simple problems by making sets and patterns of numbers up to ten. In this activity the following problem was given: Five frogs live in a pond, if 2 frogs are on a rock, how many                   frogs are in the water? Matthew initially used counters and circles to move his counters between the ‘rocks’ and ‘water’, however he was soon able to find other ways to split the frogs into groups without the help of circles. Following on from this activity, Matthew was asked to find as many different combinations of frogs in the pond as he could. Finally, Matthew looked at the equations that these word problems were meaning.  He was able to recognise that the two groups could be added together to total 5.

Evidence of learning

Here Matthew has split his ‘frogs’ by having 3 in the water and 2 on a rock.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Matthew demonstrated that he was: Connected - actively taking part in learning conversations and activities. Capable - understanding that numbers can be split in a number of different ways. Collaborative - participating and assisting others in learning activities. Managing Self  - able to use equipment in an appropriate manner.

Next Learning Steps

Use your number splits to solve simple problems. Split other numbers into two groups and look at the equations they make.

Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - 11 June 2015

Learner: Matthew            Learning Coach:  Miriam Kamsteeg            Date: 11 June 2015

Learning Area: Mathematics - Numeracy

Learning Observed

Today we were working on counting to 13. First we practised counting together to 13. Next I asked Matthew to get 13 animals. He said he had 13 so I asked him to count them for me. When he counted he had only 12 so he said “13” and grabbed another.

Evidence of learning

Matthew is not able to count to 13. I wonder if he practises counting at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Matthew is developing his Capabilities in counting. He was sequencing the numbers in his head as he was counting (Thinking).

Next Learning Steps

Counting to 14. Reading numerals to 14. Share learning with home.
