Shenmin & Shivin's Maths Game Learning Story

Learners: Shivin & Shenmin    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 25.8.15

Learning Area: Mathematics - Timestables

Learning Observed

Shenmin and Shivin were using a Maths Game to work on their 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, and 10x timestables together. They had to place their counters in the middle of the board and use the spinner to complete an equation. When they had the answer, they had to move their counter to the correct number. Shivin and Shenmin collaborated repeatedly on this game. If one was looking for the answer, the other would say “Oh! I see it!” and help by pointing to the right area of the board. The longer they played, the more capable they became at completing the calculation mentally and find their next move. Their speed also increased. I enjoyed watching them play so well together and could sense their enjoyment!
