Experiences would involve finger counting number

objects on similar characteristics and sequencing determining the correct order in which
numbers are placed. Collaborative learning would benefit CH1 for it involves working in
groups or teams to solve a problem or complete a task. This would be of benefit for the
educator or teacher could group students at different levels which would allow students to
scaffold each other to complete a task where it would normally be impossible to complete the
task on their own.

REVIEWER:
Through your documenting it was clear that you had a good understanding of bishops
catorgies, this was evident through your running record and your analysis.
The next section was in-depth and clearly gave reasons why you chose the extension
experience. My suggestion to help strengthen the essay would be to discuss the benefits of
collaborative and scaffold learning.
STUDENT:
Provide a short personal reflection in response to the feedback below, including at least one aspect
that you have implemented into your assignment.

MATHEMATICS IN PRACTICE
This assessment was a fun one to do. It really showed me how to observe and the
importance of observing students through math’s development. I have added the suggestion
from Belinda to add information about the benefits of collaboration and scaffolding.
