Yuri has been learning about arrays - how to read them and how to write them.  We are able to use arrays to support skip counting and also to understand that multiplication can be written in two ways, e.g. 2x6 = 6x2.   This understanding of arrays will help Yuri learn her multiplication facts.  She will also be able to use arrays to help solve two digit multiplication problems .

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Yuri is demonstrating that she is: Capable of developing an understanding of how arrays work and how they can encourage skip counting in order to solve multiplication problems. Thinking about what she has been taught and then applying this new learning to complete a practise activity. Using Language, Symbols and Text  to communicate number problems correctly.

Next Learning Steps

Use this strategy to a maths array game Apply this strategy to solve more difficult multiplication problems Support another Learner to understand how arrays work

Narrative Assessment - Reading - 29 August 2016

Learner:  Yuri     Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2          Date:   29 August 2016

Learning Area:  Reading

Learning Observed

Yuri has been learning to recognise more high frequency words from the Blue reading series.  Today she was reading a book titled ‘Birds that Fly’ which used the high frequency words ‘look’, ‘this’ and ‘can’.  Yuri used the pictures in the story to help with decoding unfamiliar words, e.g. bat, bee.   She was able to answer some questions about the story, and why the letters in the word ‘little’ were printed in smaller letters than the rest of the text.

Next Learning Steps

Reread this story to a buddy and parent Learn more high frequency words from the Blue and Green lists, both at school and home Reread to gain meaning after decoding unfamiliar words
