Math Narrative Assessment

Learner: Tammy        Learning Coach: Mr Hattie              Date: 17 September 2015

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 Tammy had a bit of trouble starting off as she started from the number but then counted the other number as a separate number. She was unsure of what she was suppose to be doing. Tammy was just instantly saying the ones she new and notattempting the ones she didn’t. With a bit of encouragement she opened up made it clear that she was trying the strategy that we were practicing.

Evidence of learning

Tammy solving the problem. We discussed what the problem looks like as a number problem.

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 Tammy was developing her capabilities in math.

Next Learning Steps

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

iExplore- Cubism

Learner:   Tammy      Learning Coach:   Luisa Maloni            Date: 4th September, 2015

Learning Area: iExplore: Visual Art: Cubism

Learning Observed

We have been learning about the art movement Cubism. We have looked at many examples of cubism and have created our own studies using the cubist style. Tammy used the elements of shape and fracture to create a study of a tree and a painting. Tammy used colour and shape to define the different areas of her tree study i.e. the trunk, the leaves and the background. In her painting she experimented with different shades of one colour to define these areas. She then looked at images on the internet to choose an artistic exemplar she was interested in trying. Tammy experimented with a range of subjects for her final work using ideas from her artistic exemplar.

Evidence of learning

Tammy uses an artistic exemplar to explore ideas about Cubism. I can’t wait to see her final work!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Tammy demonstrates the Vision principles of Curiosity in continually experimenting with and searching for new ideas in cubism, Capability in executing beautiful, bold and expressive artworks and Connected in connecting with what other artists are doing within the art style of Cubism. She uses the Key Competencies of Thinking as she develops her own creativity as well as follow an inquiry process.

Next Learning Steps

Use new language to describe her artworks e.g. shape, fracture, hues, shades Describe what she has learned and say what her next steps are
