Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - 8 June 2015

Learner: Austin            Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg              Date: 8 June 2015

Learning Area: Mathematics - Numeracy

Learning Observed

Today I completed a Numeracy Knowledge Assessment on Austin. First he had to read the numerals 1-9 that were shown in a random order. Austin was able to correctly identify all the numbers. Next I asked Austin to count forwards to 10. He could also do this. Then count backwards from 10, which he could do as well. Then I asked him to read the numerals 10-20 shown in a random order. He was unable to do this. Then I asked him to count forwards. He reached 12 and then missed numerals and said random numbers. Next I showed him the numerals 1-9 in a random order and asked him to say what came before 2, before 7, before 5 etc. He got some of these correct. Lastly I again showed him the numerals 1-9 in a random order and asked him to say what came after 2, after 7, after 5 etc. He was able to correctly answer all of these.

Evidence of learning

Austin was able to recognise the numerals 1-9. I wonder if he practises this at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Austin is developing his Capabilities in numeral recognition and counting. He is sequencing numerals in his head when counting (Thinking). Austin is learning to read different numbers (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps

Explicit teaching on counting to 13. Explicit teaching on numeral recognition 10-20 Explicit teaching on what number comes before from 1-9.
