Learner: Katherine                                                        Date: October 2015

Learning Area: Maths - Fractions                                        Learning Coach: John Dyer

Learning Observed

Katherine is a great learner to have in a Curiousity task  because she is a ‘Curious’ learner! Katherine is happy to share her understanding and to ask questions about learning. We began a recent workshop working with the fraction walls and identifying what effect the numerator and denominator has on the size of the fraction. Katherine showed good understanding of this. We developed this by identifying equivalent fractions. Katherine enjoyed investigating with the fraction tiles and explaining how she arrived at her answers. She also answered the hardest question of the day when we were doubling fractions to keep them equivalent.

Evidence of learning

Katherine’s learning comes about through her willingness to listen, experiment and learn from her findings. She spoke confidently about her learning and evidenced her understanding in her ‘Capability’ follow up task.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles being demonstrated

Next Learning Steps

More of the same please Katherine! Also spend some more time identifying equivalent fractions. We can see how decimals relate to what you have learned and when one is best used for a particular purpose. We will also see how you go about adding fractions that have different denominators.
