During Math time today I introduced the learners to a new activity on the iPads - Slide Addition. This game required four learners to play together to answer addition problems as they appear on screen. I began with a demonstration of how to play which they quickly picked up. Simar, Zoey, Suri, and Fernanda were working together to solve the questions. I observed Zoey during this time and noticed her ability to recognise numbers to 10 quickly in tens frames, finger and dice patterns. Zoey was able to add two numbers together without the use of physical materials. Simar began by one to one counting to solve the problems but quickly developed her ability to recognise the number pattern as it was displayed. Fernanda and Suri began by using a mixture of one to one counting when the numbers were higher as well as instant recognition of number patterns. Over the development of the activity all four of the learners developed their ability to quickly recognise the number patterns as they appeared and solved the equations at a rapid pace. When I was discussing with the learners at the end I was told that Simar had ‘won’ the most times, great work!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
During this activity Simar, Zoey, Fernanda, and Suri were applying the school vision principles of collaboration and capable. They demonstrated these through their ability to work together to complete an activity whilst supporting each others developing math understanding and extending their existing capabilities. While working on this learning task they were utilising the Key Competencies of Managing Self, and Using Language, Symbols and Texts. This was occurring as they were managing their behaviours and viewing themselves.To participate in this learning activity they had to be able to recognise and understand the mathematical language and symbols.

Learner: Suri and Katara Learning Coach: Abby Morgan Date: 2 March 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - New Zealand Sign Language
|
Learning Observed
|
Today during literacy time Katara and Suri found the New Zealand Sign Language alphabet sheet and together were practicing signing the alphabet. As they were flipping through the sheets they were assisting each other with the recognition of the letters and helping to ensuring the correct sign was used. They both were able to quickly identify the letter in English and New Zealand Sign Language, and had more time been available this learning could have been extending to creating words.

Evidence of learning
|
Suri and Katara were enjoying using the flip chart to develop their knowledge of New Zealand Sign Language.
|
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
Suri and Katara were applying the Key Competency of Relating to Others, Using Language Symbols and Texts, as well as Thinking. Both Katara and Suri were having to apply their knowledge of both the New Zealand Sign Language alphabet and the English alphabet. They were relating to others and applying the school principle of collaborating through their sharing of ideas and working cooperatively together.

Learning Observed
|
Today during Math Ella and Suri were provided with the choice of 3 activities. At the end of Math time they both bought their work to show me what they had been doing. Ella told me they had used two dice to create math problems and Suri told me how they had worked the answers out together. This was great use of time and excellent team work!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
Great to see both Ella and Suri using the school vision principles of collaboration and capability during their learning time. They assisted each other in working out the equations and developed their known and unknown math capabilities. During this time Suri and Ella were using the Key Competencies of thinking and using language, symbols, and texts. They used their thinking skills to solve the problems and used correct math symbols and texts to record their learning.
