Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - 2 June 2015

Learner: Johnny        Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg              Date: 2 June 2015

Learning Area: Mathematics - Numeracy

Learning Observed

Today we were practising counting to 10. We first started by counting together. Next the Learner had to get 10 objects from the box. Johnny was in charge of counting the bananas. He grabbed a pile of bananas and was unable to use one to one counting to count them. I put 10 in front of him to then count. Johnny lined them up then counted 1, 3, 4, see, 7, 8, 9, 10, 2, 3. Next the Learners rolled a 12 sided die and the Learners had to say the numeral that appeared on it. Johnny was able to recognise numbers 1, 2 and 3, but said the number 5 was a 2.

Evidence of learning

Johnny is learning to one to one count. I wonder if he practises counting at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Johnny is developing his Capabilities in one to one counting. He is learning to sequence the numbers in his head in order to say them in the correct order (Thinking). Johnny is starting to recognise numerals (Using Language, Symbols and Texts)

Next Learning Steps

Teaching of the correct number sequence to 10 Explicit teaching of the names of each written numeral Share learning with home.
