Numeracy

Learner: Jona Joel   Learning Coach: Luisa Maloni  Date: 8th May, 2015

Learning Area: Numeracy

Learning Observed

At Maths time, Jona is becoming more enthusiastic and engaged with his learning. We are focussing on building place value knowledge and how many tens and ones are in numbers. Today we rolled the 20-sided dice and counted out that same number of ice block sticks. For the first 2 numbers Jona needed me to model how to count out the tens and ones in each number rolled. The third roll was the number 17. Jona was able to count out 10 ice block sticks and bundle them up to make a tens bundle. He then counted on from 10 to add 7 ones. I asked ‘How many tens?’ He said ‘1’. I asked ‘How many ones?’ He said ‘7’.

Evidence of learning

Jona can use a Learning Coach model to find out how many tens and how many ones in a number. I wonder if he enjoys counting at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Jona demonstrates his capability in identifying tens and ones in numbers from 1-20 (Using Language, Symbols and Texts). Jona is due for maths testing this term.
