Math Narrative Assessment

Learning Area: Mathematics

Learning Observed

For mathematics we are learning to subtract numbers to 5 using materials. This is the first step of subtracting. During the lesson we started with understanding what subtraction is and how we subtract. We went through a few problems together using our materials, our fingers. This allows us to manipulate the problem ourselves at our own pace. Linda was doing a good job. Our next step for this lesson was practicing using our capabilities that we learnt in a practical sense. We played our addition and subtraction board game, we only did the subtraction part. Linda was a bit quiet to start off with but the smile that she had on her face when she realised that she was getting it correct was huge.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

The Key Competencies that was being shown during this lesson is “thinking” as the learners are having to think about the skills that they have just learnt while applying them to a new game. “Relating to others” as the learners were put into pairs as we are wanting discussion around why they have gotten to the answer that they got. “Capable” is the key value that we were using as the learners had to use the capabilities that they had learnt in a practical sense.

Next Learning Steps

Linda’s next learning steps are: using imaging to solve subtraction problems to 5. instantly recognising basic facts to 5.
