Notice
- How are the children learning? Which areas of development, engagement and characteristics of learning can you observe?
- In what ways does the adult support the children’s learning?
- How does the activity support the children’s learning?
- What is valuable about the materials provided as learning resources?
Reflect
What are your thoughts about:
- What and how are the children learning?
- The role of the adult in this interaction – how did she support the children?
- The value of this real life activity for the children?
Respond
What would you do to:
- Encourage the children’s problem solving skills?
- Model behaviours for young children and show how useful they are?
What next:
- Do you need to incorporate mathematical concepts into activities that the children can do themselves?
