Measurement

Learner:   Johnny            Learning Coach: M Lennon           Date:   16 October 2017

Learning Area:  iDevelop - Mathematics

NZC Achievement Objectives:   Level 1 Mathematics Measurement: Students will create and use appropriate units and devices to measure length, area, volume and capacity, weight (mass), turn (angle), temperature, and time. Patterns and Relationships: Students will generalise that whole numbers can be partitioned in many ways.

Learning Observed

In a measurement unit during iDevelop Johnny has been learning to identify different units of length.  He has been participating in a range of practical activities using both standard and non-standard units of measure. Johnny has demonstrated his curiosity by making estimations about the length of various objects using non-standard measures (e.g. how many giant steps to the door?), then carrying out investigations through practical activities in order to check his estimations. During the measurement unit Johnny is showing he is a capable learner by being able to use language, symbols, and text in order to measure the length of a particular object. Johnny is a connected learner, taking his previous experience with measurement and applying it to his current learning.

Evidence of learning

The cubes are best to measure because they were all the same size so our answers will be the same.

Next Learning Steps

Keep making estimations about the length of various things. Begin using more standard forms of measurement

Matching Time!

Narrative Assessment - Reading - 24 March 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

Today Johnny completed a PM Benchmark Reading Assessment with me and read a Magenta Level 1 text.  He held the book correctly and maintained correct one-to-one matching between spoken and printed words most of the time.  Johnny used pictures to support his understanding and recognised some high frequency words.

Evidence of learning

Johnny scored 55% on word accuracy with 25 errors and 0 self-corrections.  He used the pictures to try make sense of the story and used the initial letter to sound out unfamiliar words, e.g.  ‘t’ (the).   I wonder if he is thinking carefully about each letter and the sound that it makes.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Johnny is developing his Capabilities in Reading and with support, is starting to Think more about what he is reading to ensure that it makes sense.  He is increasing his ability to recognise more high frequency words (Using Language, Symbols and Text) and tries to Connect what he is reading to his own life experiences.

Next Learning Steps

Learn all letter/sound relationships Recognise more high frequency words Read to someone everyday at home
