Learner:  Linda          Learning Coach: Megan Croll           Date: 25 February 2016

Learning Area: Maths

Learning Observed

Today the Learners were learning to add two numbers together by finding the biggest number.  We tried to work out the problem by imaging the number in our head, then used a number line to check how many jumps we did to find the sum.

Evidence of learning

Linda was able to identify the biggest number in the problem, then rewrite the problem by putting the biggest number first.   Linda then draw a number line to help solve the problem.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Linda is developing her Capabilities in Maths by learning this addition strategy.  She was able to work by herself and use equipment correctly to solve a problem (Managing Self and Thinking).  Linda is able to form her numbers correctly and understands number ordering up to 20 (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Next Learning Steps

Practise this strategy with addition to 20, then extend to bigger numbers, e.g. 7+22= Teach this strategy to another Learner Share learning with home.
