Aim of the study
The aim is to make the learning environment completely stress free and friendly so that the
students can express themselves without any fear. The learning experiences of a child shall not
be causing much distress and therefore I have planned model that will be focused as well as
engaging and will not cause any stress to the child. This will help me e understand the learning
needs of a child with the help of the learning experience. The purpose of the assignment is to
diagnose student and carry out learning experience to move child along with understanding the
operations.
Interview with the child
This section shall focus on interviewing a child of 9 years old to find out how he shall be
responding to diagnostic tests. The name of this interview shall be to understand how a child is
trying to solve problems of addition and subtraction, and how he is studying or prepare himself
to understand multiplication as well as division problems. The interview is as follows:
Me: do you have any trouble understanding addition and subtraction?
Student No, I do.not
Me: what problems do you face in doing subtraction?
Student: I can't do backward counting in substraction
Me: do you have problem understanding in classroom?
Student: no but I can't do the homework on my own.

Me: I would suggest you start doing simple subtraction of 1 digit numbers and then move to
complex numbers.
Student: I cannot count the numbers on my fingers and that makes solving the numbers difficult
for me.
Me: you can also take the help of your parents and use practical and daily life situations to apply
to calculation to start doing subtraction.
Student: I shall do that, but will that help in my multiplication?
Me: multiplication is tougher than addition and subtraction and it will require you to follow the
classroom teaching method.
Student: mental maths is easier for me e and it does not pose any threat to my thinking abilities.
Me: doing mental maths is easiest and also helps in increasing the concentration.
Student: Thank you
Understanding:
While interviewing the student, I could understand that he has immense thinking and cognitive
disabilities and is scared of doing things on his own. He pays attention in class and also is very
attentive, but fails to do the homework when he is without any supervision. That might have a
problem in his understanding abilities later on because I understood that he lacks confidence.
The ability of the students to do mental maths is very helpful and I have always noticed in class
that he likes to keep to himself and work towards his own growth. He is not an impatient kid and
has immense capabilities to do better. He faces problem in calculation involving complex
numbers and that is why I suggested that he stocks doing calculation involving simple digits so
