Measurement Narrative Assessment

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 2 - Mathematics

Learning Observed

We have been looking at Measurement in Mathematics this week. Our aim was to develop vocabulary around comparing volume. We started with introducing what volume is. The learners were then given two different measuring jugs and were told to discuss which one they think holds more and why. We then experimented with red water to test our theories. Datar asked the question “how many of these does it take to fill this jug?” He was determined to figure this out.  Datar was so excited when he found out the answer.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

The Key Competencies that are being shown are “thinking” as they had to compare the different sizes and think which has the most volume. “Relating to others” was being shown as they had to work together and discuss the comparisons and their ideas. “Curiosity” was one of our vision principles that we were using as the learners were posed a question to think and discuss before they started.

Next Learning Steps

Datar’s next learning steps are: being able to confidently discuss why the one he thought holds more. being able to make comparisons with other objects
