Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - 7 July 2016


Learner:  Ella         Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2                Date:  7 July  2016
Learning Area:  Mathematics
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.

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).
Next Learning Steps
  • Teach this game to another Learner
  • Share the way that he can solve number problems with another Learner
  • Learn more addition strategies to support solving problems with larger numbers

Ella demonstrated her understanding of the life cycle by gluing the pictures in the correct order.
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Ella was connecting with others in her group when learning about the life cycle of the butterfly.  She was curious and asked questions to help with understanding.  Ella demonstrated managing self to independently cut out the pictures and glue them into her book within the time given by her Learning Coach.
Next Learning Steps
  • Learn more about butterflies during iExplore
  • Learn about the life cycle of other insects
  • Share this learning with someone

We Built this City!


Learner:  Ella       Learning Coach: Luisa Maloni    Date: 23rd  April, 2015
Learning Area: iExplore: We Built This City
Learning Observed
Due to the high interest in building structures out of the magnetic shapes, we have embarked upon an iExplore learning adventure designing and constructing a city out of cardboard. I observed that Ella used the cardboard and cardboard boxes thoughtfully and arranged them a number of ways - trying out ideas to suit her design.
Evidence of learning

Ella is able to try out a number of ideas for her building.
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Ella shows Curiosity and creativity as she explores the materials she will use for her building (Thinking). She demonstrates her Capabilities in remaining focussed and thoughtful in working towards a goal (Managing Self).
Next Learning Steps

  • Develop her ideas about the purpose of structures as she designs and constructs her building. Can she describe her building using new or appropriate topic vocabulary? E.g. factory, apartment, skyscraper, offices etc...Can she show how her design includes modifications to suit the purpose of her building? E.g. one large space and a kitchen/storage area for a restaurant
  • Discuss her ideas with peers and adults
