Learning Area: Learning Habitat Two - Mathematics

Learning Observed

In Mathematics we are learning about subtraction and addition. We have started by getting the learners understanding what it means to add or subtract by using materials while working out the answer. Since then the we are moving onto using counting on to help us. This is where you say a number in your head and count on from that number. With this lesson Sanjana started out with just using the strategies that she knows. This is not a bad way of doing it but she needs to learn multiple strategies as she needs to be able choose the best strategy for the problem. We slowly went through the problems and with a few goes at using the strategy Sanjana was using the strategy successfully.

Evidence of learning

Sanjana was solving the problem and then we wrote down the number equation.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Throughout this lesson the Key Competencies that Deesha was showing was “Thinking” as she tried and knew that she had to listen to the instructions again to make sure that she understands it. “Capability” was the vision principle that she was showing as Sanjana was developing her capabilities in math.

Next Learning Steps

Sanjana’s next learning steps are: adding and subtracting numbers to 5 instantly. applying the counting on strategy to higher numbers.
