Learning Observed

Today during our Daily 3 Shaval chose Maths with Someone and began teaching Melissa a card game.  The focus for this particular activity shows Shaval is able to articulate her thinking skills and share her knowledge. Both learners were capable of working collaboratively and were able to complete the task without guidance - Self management.  Our learners always enjoy the opportunity to connect and work with others. Learner voice:   Shaval “This is called Speed, and it’s good for your Maths ‘cos you count down or up”.
