Learning Observed

Today the Learners were learning to add two numbers together by finding the biggest number then add on the smaller number.  We tried to work out the problem by imaging the numbers in our head, then used a number line to check how many jumps we needed to do to find the sum.

Evidence of learning

Suri was able to identify the biggest number.  She then rewrote the problem by starting with the biggest number and counted on to find the answer.   Suri drew a number line to help solve the problem.
