iExperience Narrative Assessment - 23 August 2016

Learner:  Zoey   Learning Coach: Michelle Lennon - LH2     Date:   23 August 2016

Learning Area:  iExperience

NZC Achievement Objective:  Students will gain knowledge, skills, and experience to understand how the past is important to people.

Learning Observed

As part of our iExperience Zoey participated in a school trip to the Howick Historical Village. Before going to the Howick Historical Village Zoey learnt all about the clothes that children wore, the games they played, songs they sung and the, slightly, different language they used.  Zoey has taken this knowledge and designed her own costume, to represent what children wore in historic times, which she wore on her trip. While she was there Zoey participated in activities involving Victorian games (outdoor games) and Parlour games (indoor games) that were played by children in the late 18th Century. Zoey also enjoyed looking around the village seeing all the old buildings and things that people had, but her favourite thing was the Victorian games.

Narrative Assessment - Maths - 4 August 2016

Learner:  Zoey     Learning Coach: Michelle Lennon - LH2     Date:   4 August 2016

Learning Area:  Maths

NZC Achievement Objective:  Know groupings with five, within ten and with 10.

Learning Observed

During iDevelop Zoey has been learning to split numbers up to 10 into their additive properties. Zoey was given the number 4 and was asked to find as many different ways as she could to add up to 4.  Initially she used counters to help her complete this activity, then she was able to mentally find number splits and match them up with cards without the support of materials.

Evidence of learning

Here Zoey shows that she can split a 4 into a 4 and 0; and a 6  into a 6 and 0.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Zoey demonstrated that she was: Connected - actively taking part in learning conversations and activities. Capable - understanding that numbers can be split in many different ways. Collaborative - participating and assisting others in learning activities. Managing Self  - able to use equipment in an appropriate manner.

Next Learning Steps

Teach other groups how to split numbers. Use your number splits as a ‘tidy number’ strategy to solve problems. Begin splitting numbers through subtraction.
