Math Clapping Narrative

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - iDevelop

Learning Observed

In Learning Habitat One the learners are getting more choice over the independent learning tasks that they are able to do during iDevelop. Today I observed Shubi, Navnoor, Riya and Sameeha playing a clapping game. My first thought was that they were off task and I moved over to them to direct them to a more meaningful task when I heard what they were actually doing. They had been taught this clapping game in a Mathematics Workshop by Mrs Patrick which was for practicing their skip counting in a fun way. From the group I over heard laughing, correct skip-counting, self correcting, and mentoring of others when they were unsure of the next part of the pattern. This is perfect evidence of innovative learning. They were engaged and enjoying their learning. During this game Shubi and Navnoor were using their Capabilities by helping others complete the pattern when they got stuck. Riya was showing Collaboration as she the game was a game that had to be done with partners and she discussed with the others about the next series of numbers. Sameeha was showing Connection because she talked about how skip counting was a lot like multiplication.

Evidence of learning

Next Learning Steps

Shubi, Navnoor, Riya and Sameeha’s next learning steps are: Practice basic multiplication facts Skip count backwards from 100 in 2’s, 3’s, and 5s. Instantly recall basic multiplication facts.
