Learning Area:  Maths

Learning Observed

The Black Gibbons have been investigating what it means to classify objects.  This is part of the geometry strand in maths, level 1.   The Learners were placed in mixed ability groups of 4-5, then they rotated through three different activities where they were asked to work as a team to discuss the objects and find different ways to classify (group) them.   Instead of working with the whole group, Datar moved away to a table and decided to gather some pen pots from the habitat and group them by colour.  In their next rotation, Datar supported others in his group to classify some wooden shapes.   They put them into three groups - one group of shapes that were rounded, another group of shapes had point and the third group were classified as cubed shapes.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Datar worked in a collaborative way by thinking and acting with his team.  With some support, he was able to share his ideas with the other Learners in his team and listen to their ideas. Datar demonstrated that he is capable of listening to, and following a set of instructions most of the time.   He was required to think about the learning taking place and understand what the other members in his group were doing when they were creating new groups with the materials.  Datar was able to manage himself by remaining on task and moving to the next rotation when instructed.

Next Learning Steps

Find other objects to classify within LH2 and at home Support another Learner to understand classification Bring another feature into his classifications

Datar goes for Gold!
