Learning Area: Maths                                         Learning Coach: John Dyer

Learning Observed

Louisa was recently working as part of a big group on a measurement task. She first applied her previous measurement learning experiences to this task and approximated sensibly. Louisa then collaborated when measuring a variety of wooden rods. These were used to measure the length and width of a room. Louisa was able to use her place value knowledge when converting centimetres to metres and then multiplication skills to see how many times each rod fitted across the room. It was good to see Louisa being both an active listener and offering ideas for how the problem could be solved.

Evidence of learning

Louisa collaborating well with Selestine as the decide on the best way to measure the room using a variety of lengths.

Next Learning Steps

Apply learning around measurement of length to other areas of measurement including weight and volume. Continue to develop basic facts knowledge. This will include quick recall of addition and subtraction facts to 20 and of multiplication facts for the 2, 5, 10 x tables. This will progress to the 3 and 4 x tables.
