Maths Narrative Assessment

Learner:  Anisha    Learning Coach: Michelle Lennon - LH2      Date:   8 August 2016

Learning Area:  Maths

NZC Achievement Objective:  Use a range of counting, grouping, and equal-sharing strategies with whole numbers and fractions.

Learning Observed

During iDevelop Anisha has been learning to count on using the biggest number first. Using a game of Snakes and Ladders, Anisha has been learning how to recognise the patterns on a pair of dice, locate the bigger number and keep this in her head while she adds on the smaller number. After rolling the two dice, Anisha identifies the biggest number shown.  Then she puts this into her head and holds it there while she works out what number is on the other dice.  Anisha is using her fingers to help track how many more she needs to count on before moving her counter on the game board.

Evidence of learning

Here Anisha is rolling the dice and moving the total number of places on the gameboard.
