Learning Observed

Today we were investigating what it means to classify objects.  This is part of the geometry strand in maths, level 1.   The Learners were placed in mixed ability groups of 4-5, then they rotated through three different activities where they were asked to work as a team to discuss the objects and find different ways to classify (group) them.   Kaka worked with his group to first group the objects by colour, then to separate the dinosaurs from the other shapes.  They then classified them another way by putting all the animals into a circle.    In their next rotation, Kaka was given support by others in his group others to classify some wooden shapes.   They put them into two groups - one group of shapes that were rounded and another group of shapes that had sharp edges or points.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Kaka worked in a collaborative way by thinking and acting with his team.  He was encouraged to share his ideas with the other Learners in his team and also listen to their ideas. Kaka demonstrated that he is capable of listening to, and following a set of instructions.   He was required to think about the learning taking place and understand what the other members in his group were doing when they were creating new groups with the materials.  Kaka was able to manage himself by remaining on task and moving to the next rotation when instructed.
