    Introduction:

    The purpose for this interview was depicted in two ways; allowing myself to gain a

    deeper understanding into collecting, analysing and reporting data, but to also benefit

    the learner and teacher, representing students mathematical understandings and

    thinking through a range of strategies. The interview had a clearly defined purpose,

    using observations and responses to identify strategies, allowing myself as a pre-

    service teacher to plan and develop curriculum

    and instruction, based on meeting students

    individual needs in a classroom environment.

    Nutshell statement: Preservice teachers name: Mary Buffon Student ID: S00134651 Student: Mia Year Level: Foundation

    Nutshell statement:

    Mia demonstrated knowledge of the fundamental concepts of mathematics including

    counting, patterning, ordinal numbers, subitising and matching numerals to quantities

    through a range of derived strategies. Mia demonstrated her knowledge of counting as

    she used her fingers to count and recount by ones. She displayed a comprehensive

    knowledge of counting forwards in a sequence, from a number of starting points,

    before correctly counting backwards from 10-1 using strategies of reciting from

    known facts. Mia distinctly sorted the objects by the attribute colour, correctly

    identifying one group as more. Mia used visualisation, using her fingers to point and

    identify hidden resources, whilst also using her fingers to visually display one more

    and one less. Mia used subitising, for the numbers 0-9, as she matched numerals to

    quantities without having to count each individual quantity on the number cards. She

    used elements of self-correction whilst representing notions of examining her work.

    The ability to demonstrate a proficient understanding of comparisons was evident as

    Purpose of the Assessment Task was to plan and develop curriculum that was solely

    focused on meeting students needs in the classroom by modifying teaching practices.

    Purpose of a nutshell statement is to clearly identify what was interpreted from the

    assessment data received.

  • EDMA262 Mathematics: Learning & Teaching 1 Assessment Task 1

    Mia ordered the data numerically, shortest to longest, in regards to the length of each

    resource. Mia was able to use direct comparisons for a number of objects, initially for

    three objects, before moving to four. Mia presented her mathematical capabilities

    competently throughout the interview as she represented a range of mathematical

    strategies in order to solve the problems.

    Analyse Students photos: Photographs match students number/addition equation sentences written The combinations of numbers used add to total the correct number

    Resources:

    Organisation for learning:

    Whole class sit on the floor for tuning in and introduction activity

    Children will then work in mixed ability pairs investigation activity

    o During this time, teacher will be roving and listening to childrens strategies. If the teacher observes any children having difficulty, she

    will conduct a guided working group on the floor using the same

    activity but providing more guidance.

    Whole class will return to floor, sitting in a circle for reflection/conclusion

    Key questions to guide learning and prompt student thinking:

    What do we need to think about when we add two numbers?

    What other numbers could add together to equal 10, will there be an equation

    sentence that has two of the same numbers equalling 10?

    How can you find out what numbers add to equal 10? *Encourage children to

    model the numbers equalling 10 using their fingers, for example, If Im

    holding 3 fingers up (choose any number), how many more numbers do I need

    to make 10?

    Does anyone have a different number combination that you do not have? How

    can we find out if your combinations are both equal?

    Lesson actions:

    e5: ENGAGE, EXPLORE Lesson introduction (Whole TUNING IN): - Students will sit on the floor facing the whiteboard - The educator will then turn and point to the tens frame she has already drawn on the whiteboard with three blue dots, one in each of three of the boxes. - Subitising will then be evident, asking questions such as: How many more do I need to get to 10? *After child says 7, draw 7 green dots in each of the remaining boxes on the tens frame. - Explain how we know there are 10 Can anyone check to show me there are 10? - Teacher then lays out giant tens frame and says Our Train fits 10 people - Ask four students to come on board the train, asking Who can tell me how many more people fit on our train? - Continue this activity, repeating above questions until all combinations of 10 are found. - Come back together on the floor, repeating the whiteboard activity, explaining how students will be using magnetic tens frames to demonstrate three combinations of numbers that add together to total 10 and writing these equations in a number sentence.

    e5: EXPLORE, EXPLAIN, ELABORATE Development/investigation (Part - INVESTIGATING):

    Mary Buffon S00134651

  • EDMA262 Mathematics: Learning & Teaching 1 Assessment Task 1

    - Children work in mixed ability partners with a magnetic tens board (see appendix 1) each, making combinations of 10 and writing the sentence they make, 9 and 1= 10 (corresponding sentence to what they have displayed on the board), sharing the sentences with one another. How did you determine what numbers added together to equal 10? - Take photos of children with magnetic tens board, collecting equation sentences (see appendix 2) for further assessment after the class. - Once children have made three different combinations of adding on to total 10, bring children together. How can we find out how many different combinations there are? - Children share different combinations they have found. How can we check we have found all possible combinations?

    Adjusting the lesson: Enabling prompt: - As children will be working in mixed ability pairs, get him/her to notice and describe what their partner is doing to prompt them to do the same. If the child still requires prompting, take them on a walk around the class to observe other students before conducting a guided working group on the floor. Teacher roving will initiate this.

    Extending prompt: Does anyone have a different number combination that you do not have? How could you find out that your combinations are both equal/correct? e5: EXPLAIN, ELABORATE, EVALUATE Plenary and conclusion (Whole REFLECTING and GENERALISING): - Connect the iPad to the whiteboard, scrolling through photographs of childrens work, asking: How did you know how to make combinations of 10? How could you see how to combine two numbers to make these combinations? Record any subitising or visualisation language/strategies - Provide opportunities to discuss subitising and visualisation. How can we check to see that each combination equals 10? See if children suggest subitising or using visual representations such as adding on using their fingers.

    What are some things we need to think about when we combine two numbers? How can we tell these numbers total 10? - Record responses on the whiteboard

    Rationale:

    Upon completing Mias Mathematics Assessment Interview, questions one-two and

    the foundation detour interview, it was evident that Mia comprehensively understood

    and recognised one-digit quantities through subitising. Mia was able to confidently

    match numerals to quantities and order numerals from 0-9, commencing at a range of

    starting points including 0 and 1. Mia was then proficient in demonstrating how six

    could be formed using two different combinations, shown on her fingers. Mia initially

    showed five fingers on one hand, and one on the other hand. When I asked another

    way? Mia repeated the demonstration with four fingers shown on one hand and two

    on the other. I then asked, another way? In which she responded, There are no more

    ways.

    I then recognised that this concept of combining numbers to equal one total number

    using subitising and adding on could be extended upon, with the focus therefore on

    using subitising to explore possible number combinations of two numbers adding to

    total 10, as this was a known number for children to begin with. Reys, Lindquist,

    Lambdin, Smith, Rogers, Falle, Frid & Bennett (2012) describe subitising as the

    ability to instantaneously visualise how many numerals or objects in a group. I concur

    with Reys et al that subitising is an important element for several reasons; it helps

    develop counting skills and accelerates the development of addition and subtract. I

    therefore used these elements to base my lesson upon, recognising that although

    children may be able to subitise to form one digit numbers, it is when students are

    asked to demonstrate how two numbers form a whole difficulty is experienced.

    I found this a vital element to extend upon as students begin to develop a notion of

    adding on and subitising, using known facts and numbers to develop more complex

    mathematical strategies.

    Mary Buffon S00134651

    - I used evidence from the interview to explore what the student was confident in, areas for improvement

    and areas that may need to be extended upon.

    Conclusion:

    The purposefully presented interview allowed myself, as a pre-service teacher, the

    opportunity to plan and develop curriculum and instruction to a classroom

    environment. Having both the Mathematics Assessment Interview and the Assessment

    Task regarding the interview, reinforced the shared nature of the two, collecting,

    analysing and reporting data to depict students mathematical understandings and

    range of strategies used.

    An element that was highlighted during this assessment interview was the wide range

    of ability for a particular student. I also acknowledged the importance of extending

    upon subitising to explore number combinations. The vital element represented was

    that when children explore number combinations, they begin to develop a notion of

    addition and subitising using known numbers and strategies. Using elements of

    mathematics that a child proficiently demonstrated was evident during my paper,

    allowing students to build on components of mathematics that may present difficulty.

    Reinforced the relationship between collecting assessment data and planning accordingly for these to ensure that the best interests of the child are been met
