Harry's Maths Learning Story

By Anonymous

Learner: Harry L          Learning Coach: Bex Remington          Date: 25 June 2015
Learning Area: iDevelop - Maths
Learning Observed
Harry had learnt to count on from the biggest number on materials (either counters or fingers) so now it was time for begin adding on by creating images in her head.  He starts with a picture of the biggest number and then adds on by imaging more counters being added to his big number.  We discussed that sometimes it is easier to close our eyes and nod our heads as we count on.  Harry can now use this technique with confidence and has moved on to adding numbers by grouping 10s.  Harry is able to add bigger numbers by creating groups of 10 first and using his facts to 10.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Harry is developing his capabilities in maths and is beginning to be able to confidently add and subtract in his head.  He is demonstrating his ability to think as he imagines what the numbers would look like in his head.  He is able to understand language, symbols and text for addition and subtraction and understands what he need to do in order to get the right answer.
Next Learning Steps
  • Practice his addition and subtraction in his head
  • Begin working out harder sums in his head
  • Use flash-cards with a partner and see how quickly he can work out the answers

We initially learnt about the Thinker’s Key called ‘BAR’. BAR stands for Bigger, Add, Replace. To practise, the learners had to pick either a pen, lunch box or tennis racquet to make a feature bigger, add to the item and replace something. The learners had as much creative license as they needed and then they reflected on how functional the item had become - could it still be used for its original purpose? The next stage was to come up with an item that we use at school and repeat the BAR process. Joshua & Harry decided on creating a dice to use in a game. Joshua & Harry had to use the website TinkerCad to design their dice. They had to use the pre...
