Karis Learning Story- Maths and iExplore - March 2015

Learner:  Karis Tauvela                                            Date: March 2015

Learning Area: Maths and iExplore                         Learning Coach: John Dyer

Learning Observed

Karis has already proven herself to be a very thoughtful and caring learner. She demonstrates a willingness to learn and is eager to discuss how she might improve on a learning journey. Karis has recently shown good understanding when adding 2 digit numbers. She uses her developing number knowledge to find tidy tens and used a range of materials and imaging to reach her answers. In the past week, Karis has embarked on an exciting iExplore. She aims to honour and celebrate her culture through setting up a Samoan club in school. She has teamed up with Selestine and is working hard to ensure things are planned effectively. She intends to  perform at a Hui and present elements of Samoan song, dance, games and culture to the school. I look forward to documenting the results in photo and film that will be viewed here.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

It has been great to see Karis ‘related so well with others’ and ‘participating and contributing’ effectively in her learning. She has demonstrated ‘capability’ in Maths and has carried out her projects well through ‘collaborating’ with her peers.

Next Learning Steps

Karis is encouraged to believe in her capabilities and follow her Samoan iExplore through with the best of her abilities. By continuing to practice her basic facts in Maths and reinforcing her learning through ‘Mathletics’ and ‘e-ako’ Karis will continue to make good progress with her mathematical learning.
