Learning Observed

In today’s session we were practicing our basic fractions. We learnt about what a fraction is. Datar was organising pictures into the different categories of halves, thirds and quarters. This was a new topic that we have been learning this week. When we started it was very difficult as it was new, but once we understood what a fraction is then it got much easier. The activity that we were doing was the learners had the fractions written on the table and they had to draw the fraction. It was great to see the learner's understanding how to read the fraction and be able to connect that knowledge to a drawing. Datar was excited to see that he was able to draw it the correct way. This has been something that we have been working on with him.

Evidence of learning

Datar’s Fraction drawings

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

The Key Competencies that are being shown in this activity is “understanding language, symbols and text” as they had to understand what the symbol means and what he needs to draw for it. The Vision Principle that was being shown in this activity is “Connect” as the learners were able to connect their knowledge that they had about fractions to drawing a visual representation for that fraction.

Next Learning Steps

Datar’s next learning steps are: read and identify fractions such as ⅕, ⅙, and  ⅛ instantly recall doubles and halves to 10
