Learning Observed and Vision Principles

In Maths, the Green group has recently been learning about fractions and how these can be represented as a shaded area of a whole or as a numerical value (decimal). Shaun, Nehaal, Shreya, Natasha and Amin were given a set of cards to make sets to represent all of the different ways to show a fractions value. They all showed that they were curious about this concept as they remained engaged with the task, giving their full attention to seeing it through to the end. All five learners had to collectively share their knowledge and collaboratively match all of the cards correctly. From this, they were able to see the connections between the different ways a fraction can be recorded.

Next Learning Steps

To build on this collaborative knowledge, take the time to complete other Capability Tasks independently which will solidify new learning. Be sure to ask questions to clarify thinking when needed. Teach this concept to another learner or support them in their learning if they are confused.
