Learning Observed, Key Competencies/ Vision Principles

This week Selestine has been focusing on addition and subtraction at school. Her math task was to do Math by Myself, which is part of the math daily 3. Math by myself involves her participating in an activity that she has to do on her own. The Math by Myself activities promote managing self and connecting with prior and current knowledge to execute the task. During this particular task, shown below, Selestine was asked to use the coloured lego blocks to show the equation on each addition flashcards. She had to connect the lego using the different colours to represent one set of numbers in the equation. Selestine has shown fantastic capabilities in using materials to add sums.

Selestine can use her knowledge of addition to solve word problems, which is what she will be doing next in math. Solving word problems develops skills in visualising the scenario presented in the problem for the purpose of solving the equation.

I was really proud to see you working on an Independent Maths task in this learning story Selestine. Maths is a funny thing sometimes because, often if it is easy, it means we're not learning anything, and when it is a little tricky (but not impossibly) it means it is just right and we are doing the hard work of learning and figuring out and practicing something new. I've watched you at home be frustrated at times when parts of math was difficult, and then have a hard time getting motivated to do it on your own. I'm proud to see that you have continued to work at focusing on your persistence in maths - especially when it is not easy! This is an attitude that will help you figure out all kind of tricky things in maths and anything else! (Love Mom)
