Learning Observed

Today after a 20 minute learning workshop on adding fractions with common denominators, Katara chose to complete a follow up worksheet. She was able to independently complete the worksheet, adding fractions with common denominators (e.g. 2/7 + 5/7 + 2/7 = 9/7).

Evidence of learning

Katara was able to independently add “like” fractions. Can she identify the improper fractions next?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Katara is developing her Capabilities in Maths. She chose to independently complete the follow up task for fractions in learning time and in one day (Managing Self, Participating and Contributing). Katara was able to Think about fractions and add 2 or more fractions with common denominators (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Learning Observed

As I worked alongside Katara today I asked her to identify different common body parts on a picture. She was able to correctly identify all of the 12 parts asked for. We then discussed opposites - Katara was able to correctly tell me the opposites to big, slow, hard and quiet. Katara was able to correctly tell me the functions and purpose of the eye, nose, mouth, and ears and was also able to tell me an object that melts and something that burns. I recorded Katara telling me about the picture in which she is able to identify some people having fun. The Video below illustrates her developing oral language skills.
