Narrative Assessment Term 2 - Math

Learner: Ethan                    Learning Coach: Abby Morgan             Date: 11 June 2015

Learning Area: Math

Learning Observed

As we began our Math workshop today we practiced ordering numbers to 100. Down the side of the board the numbers were written in tens from 10 to 100. After we had ordered the other numbers from biggest to smallest Ethan noticed that the numbers on the side of the board were in tens. As  a group we discussed how we knew there were 10 numbers between each and I asked what number they thought would come next (after 100) if we continued to count in tens. After some guessing Ethan recognised the pattern and told me the next number would be 110. I then wrote; 130, 160, 180 on the board. I asked the learners what numbers were missing. From seeing the pattern Ethan was able to quickly respond with the correct numbers.

Evidence of learning

Ethan was beginning to develop his ability to count to 100 in tens. I wonder if he can skip-count in 5’s?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ethan was developing the vision principles of being capable as well as extending the key competencies of using language, symbols and texts, and thinking skills. He was applying his knowledge of known math facts to extend his existing capabilities while using the correct mathematical language to communicate his ideas. Ethan was also utilising effective thinking skills to recall and apply new learning.

Next Learning Steps

Assist Ethan in developing his ability to skip-count in 2’s and 5’s. Help extend his ability to instantly recall addition facts to 10.
