Jiani's Reading Learning Story

Learner: Jiani Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 2.3.16

Learning Area: iDevelop - Reading           Key Competency: Using Language, Symbols and Text

Learning Observed

Jiani’s group had been learning about identifying the characters and writing about why that was so. Jiani followed the instructions and prompts, successfully identifying who her favourite character was and recording this in writing. She showed a developing curiosity in the text by outlining why that character was her favourite and can work on adding more detail to this in the future. Jiani was capable of completing this in the given time frame and used her time well which is a positive outcome for her.

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - Mathematics

Learning Observed

In mathematics we have been looking at fractions and finding fractions from a set of materials. When we first looked at this Jiani struggled to grasp the concept that fractions are groups and parts of a whole. We started to use the Unifix Cubes to show the breaking a whole into small groups. The question was break your 12 cubes into quarters. Each learner started off by putting the cubes in groups of 4. This is a common misconception. We then looked at what a quarter is and how to break up a square into quarters. Jiani then realised that she had the wrong about of groups and started to change his answer. After this whatever number of Unifix Cubes I gave her she was able to split them into 4 groups (quarters). Jiain showed Capabilities as they changed the her thinking and develop her understanding. She used the Key Competency of Thinking as she had to think about the mathematical symbols and how to apply them to manipulate the cubes. .
