Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - 5 June 2015

Learner: Amy     Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg             Date: 5 June 2015

Learning Area: Mathematics - Numeracy

Learning Observed

Today I was completing a Numeracy Knowledge Assessment with Amy. I first showed her the numerals 1-9 in a random order and asked her to tell me what the numerals were. She was able to recognise all the numerals. Next I asked her to count forwards to 10. Amy did this easily. Then I asked her to count backwards from 10. She was also able to do this.Then I showed her the numerals 10 - 19 in a random order and asked her to tell me what the numerals were. She was able to say all of them, except number 13. I then got her to start counting and listened for where she was unable to continue counting to. She got as far as 13 before her sequence of numbers was incorrect.

Evidence of learning

Amy was able to recognise most of the numerals. I wonder if she practises this at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Amy was sequencing the numbers in her head in order to count correctly (Thinking). She is developing her Capabilities in counting and numeral recognition. Amy is starting to recognise numerals to 20 (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Next Learning Steps

Explicit teaching on what number comes before and after numerals to 10. Explicit teaching on recognition of the numeral 13. Practise counting to 15.
