Learner:  Sanad     Learning Coach: Michelle Lennon - LH2     Date:   4 August 2016

Learning Area:  Maths

NZC Achievement Objective:  Know groupings with five, within ten and with 10.

Learning Observed

During iDevelop Sanad has been learning to split numbers up to 10 into their additive properties. Sanad was given the number 9 and was asked to find as many different ways as he could to add up to 9.  Initially he used counters to help him complete this activity, then he was able to mentally find number splits and match them up with cards without the support of materials.

Evidence of learning

Here Sanad shows that he can split a 9 into a 4 and a 5; and a 4  into a 1 and a 3.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Sanad demonstrated that he was: Connected - actively taking part in learning conversations and activities. Capable - understanding that numbers can be split in many different ways. Collaborative - participating and assisting others in learning activities. Managing Self  - able to use equipment in an appropriate manner.

Next Learning Steps

Teach other groups how to split numbers. Use your number splits as a ‘tidy number’ strategy to solve problems. Begin splitting numbers through subtraction.
