Learning Observed

In Mathematics we are learning about subtraction and addition. We have started by getting the learners understanding what it means to add or subtract by using materials while working out the answer. Since then the we are moving onto using counting on to help us. This is where you say a number in your head and count on from that number. With this lesson Deesha had a bit of trouble starting off as she started from the number but then counted the other number as a separate number. She listened to the instructions again and then asked if she could try again and got the understanding. She was very impressed with herself and was able to complete the next few problems.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Throughout this lesson the Key Competencies that Deesha was showing was “Thinking” as she tried and knew that she had to listen to the instructions again to make sure that she understands it. “Capability” was the vision principle that she was showing as Deesha was developing her capabilities in math.

Next Learning Steps

Deesha’s next learning steps are: adding and subtracting numbers to 5 instantly. applying the counting on strategy to higher numbers.

Learning Observed

This week the learners got to have an interesting experience. They had to work collaboratively while exploring and experiencing play with a tyre. This is part of a way that we can spark some interesting discussions and writing around a real life experience while gaining new vocabulary. Deesha was with her group and discussing the different ways that her and her group could move the tyre. They were very excited and the new vocabulary that came out of this was great to hear. Deesha had a great idea about how they can steer the tyre. She said that if she was in the front and pushed sideways it will roll in the direction they want.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

“Collaboration” was one of the vision principles that were being used during this activity. “Curious” was another vision principle that was being used as the learners had a lot of questions.

Next Learning Steps

Deesha’s next learning steps are: create some writing about her experience to use her new vocabulary.
