Learning Observed
On an afternoon in Term 4, while many other learners were in the final stages of their ‘Kaipakihi’ market planning, I found Major in Ngahere breakout room. He had one of the circuit units and was trying to get a bulb to light.  Major was curious and spent over 15 minutes trying to work out what to do.  I did little to support Major, except suggest that he thinks about why the wires are coloured red and black.   Major was delighted when he managed to get the light to work, and rushed off to show his friends.

Narrative Assessment - Maths Problem Solving

Narrative Assessment                      Date: 15.6.18 Learners:  Major                        Learning Coach: Megan Croll - LH6

Learning Area:  Maths Problem Solving

Learning Observed

This is a narrative assessment of collaborative learning during a maths problem solving session.  In Term 1, we introduced the learners of LH6 to Kagan Structures and grouped the learners into four colour groups according to their strengths and capabilities.  We also unpacked how to solve maths word problems by using the ‘CUBE’ strategy (Using Language, Symbols and Text). At the beginning of each session, Major is invited to find the other learners from his group and get organised with the necessary materials (Managing Self). We then introduce the maths problem with the expectation that Major will  connect with the others in his group while solving the problem.  Today, the learners were given the following problem: With help from a learning coach, Major underlined the important information, but was unsure what to do next.  He wasn’t keen to join in with his team’s conversation; preferring to sit by himself and work with the learning coach.

Evidence of learning

Major was able to talk about the possible ages of the children, then identify their correct ages.

Next Steps: * Share his own ideas with the other members of his group *  Listen carefully when other learners are sharing their learning *  Be prepared to make changes to his thinking
