Reflections
They did master the outcome of writing numbers in words which they showed by doing
activity 1.1 correctly. The second task which was to do activity 1.2, what I noticed is that they
find it hard to interpret what is given to them. So had to explain to them what they have to do
showing them the key words to look out for when answering conventions. The classroom
they were at I was able to move around and observe what they were doing. We couldnt
finish doing the task so they had to add it to their homework, including activity 1.3 & 1.4 as
originally planned.
