Narrative Assessment - Problem Solving

Narrative Assessment                 Date: 15.6.18 Learners:  Ashvir                   Learning Coach: Megan Croll - LH6

Learning Area:  Maths Problem Solving

Learning Observed

This is a narrative assessment of collaborative learning during a maths problem solving session.   We had previously introduced the learners of LH6 to Kagan Structures and explained how we had grouped the learners into four different colour groups.  We then invited the learners to find other learners from each of the other colours. Ashvir connected with the others in his group and they were asked to support each while solving the following problem: Ashvir and his group were first given time to discuss the problem and identify the  information provided in the question. They were then given 10 minutes to independently draw and solve the problem.  After 10 minutes, I asked all the learners to check in with the others in their group and share what they had solved so far.  Then, as a habitat, we discussed some of the thinking that was taking place.  I then gave all groups another 10 minutes to continue solving the problem. Ashvir was keen to collaborate with others in his group in order to solve the problem.  He listened carefully to the ideas of others in his group and participated in the learning conversation.

Next Steps: Begin using his number knowledge and contribute ideas to a group discussion.
