Learning Area: LH1

Learning Coach: Priscilla Lavakula

NZ Curriculum Achievement Objectives

Use simple additive strategies with whole numbers and fractions
Know the basic and addition and subtraction facts

Learning Observed:

In maths we have been learning to solve word number problems. The exponents group have been learning to read and identify the most important parts of a word problem that will help them to solve it. The learners then, had to discuss what the problem was asking us to do ie. add, subtract, multiply or divide.

Key Competencies/ Vision Principles:

Kiko shows being curious and connected when modelling to and questioning during discussions that took place. She listens very carefully. Kiko shows capability by saying what kind of equation each word problem was and why.

Next Learning Steps:

Continue practicing your basic facts of addition and subtraction to 10
