Learning Observed, Key Competencies/ Vision Principles

This week Norah 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, Norah 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. Norah has shown fantastic capabilities in using materials to add sums.
