Math Narrative Assessment

Learning Area: Learning Habitat Two - Mathematics

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 Linda 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. Linda was very impressed with herself and was able to complete the next few problems. Once she starts she understands the concept.

Evidence of learning

Linda solving the problem. We discussed what the problem looks like as a number problem.

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 Linda was developing her capabilities in math.

Next Learning Steps

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