Learning Observed

Norah has been working hard to develop her capability in Maths. In this photo she is working collaboratively to solve division problems. Norah is moving from using material to imaging objects in her mind. When faced with the problem of sharing 24 into 6 groups, she understands the idea of sharing as division and equally shares the correct number of counters. Norah is now moving on to use her times tables knowledge to work out the number of groups in a set and is moving away from the need to use materials. She works well in groups and individually as asks for help when she is unsure of what to do next.
