Learning Observed

Today Ella and her maths group were learning to add three numbers together with Mrs Hooker.  They did this by rolling three dice, then using the best strategy to add the three numbers together - either by first adding two numbers together to make ten, or by using their known basic facts to first add two numbers, then the remaining number. Ella was eager to identify the numbers and use her basic fact knowledge to calculate the answer.

Evidence of learning

Ella joined in with a large group to play a maths addition game She carefully calculated the answer in her head Ella patiently waited her turn to share her answer

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ella Connected this game with prior knowledge by Thinking about and recalling the basic facts to solve the problems.  She was Capable of waiting for her turn (Managing Self) to share her answer; allowing others time to think and come up with their own answers. Ella is able to identify numbers and uses a clearer voice to share her ideas (Using Language, Symbols and Text).
