Learning Observed

Saniya has been developing her addition skills. She was needing to use one-to-one pointing to find the sum of two numbers by counting all the objects. Saniya learnt to hold the first number in her head and count on using materials. She has now progressed to holding the first number in her head and can count on using imaging. Nodding her head has helped her imaging while adding on the second number. Saniya writes some of her numbers/digits incorrectly. She has been practicing forming the number/digits 7 and 2 correctly. Saniya is left handed and so this may affect her formation of  digits. She needs to think about them when she is writing and will pause before writing these digits.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Saniya is demonstrating that she understands the discrete nature of numbers and can count on when adding to find the sum of 2 numbers to 10 independently and to 20 with support. Saniya working at Stage 3 - Counting from one by imaging to Advance Counting. She is demonstrating her capabilities in developing the Key Competencies of Using Language, Symbols and text and Thinking.

Next Learning Steps

count from the bigger number in an addition equation when it is not in the starting position eg 3+7=    so    7+3= 10 use a blank number line to record bigger number and count on to find the sum. add numbers to 20 using imaging independently. correctly form all the digits 0-20.
