Fraction Narrative

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - Mathematics

Learning Observed

In Maths we are looking at finding fractions out of materials. Today we were focusing on quarters. Sereya, Nishita and Melissa had to make 4 even groups with the counters. We looked at a range of different amounts. There were many different levels of Capabilities when we broke off into groups. But Sereya, Nishita and Melissa did well to Collaborate and figure out how to solve the problems. They used equal sharing to arrange the counters into the correct amounts. I was very impressed with how well Sereya, Nishita and Melissa worked today, this has been something that we have been working on for a while and we have successfully achieved it.

Next Learning Steps

Sereya, Nishita and Melissa next learning steps are to: Use skip counting to solve equal sharing. Find basic fractions from a specific amount using imaging. Order fractions with the same denominator.

Momo, Melissa & Nishita's Mars Rover Learning Story

Learning Observed

The learners had six activities to choose from to extend their knowledge about Space. Melissa, Momo & Nishita chose to take part in one that required problem solving and thinking skills. They had the option to make either a Mars Rover or a Satellite and picked to do the Mars Rover. With the provided materials, Melissa, Momo & Nishita had to make a connection between their own version and the image that was shown on the screen. The girls showed curiosity by using the materials in specific ways and both tried to use as much detail as possible in their creation. They collaborated by sharing ideas and possible ways to overcome issues, ultimately being very pleased with their final product.
