Luca showed solid progress with calculating percentages of amounts. He was able to use multiple strategies—such as converting percentages to decimals or breaking them into simpler parts (like 10% and 5%)—and applied them accurately across different questions. His confidence grew as he worked through the exercises, and he demonstrated a good understanding of how percentages relate to real-world contexts.

Luca would benefit from further practice with percentage questions that involve less familiar numbers or require multiple steps, such as finding percentage increases or decreases. He also needs to continue strengthening his mental strategies for breaking down percentages (e.g., 15% as 10% + 5%) to improve speed and accuracy. With more repetition and exposure to varied question types, his confidence and fluency will continue to grow.

Luca showed strong recall of his benchmark percentages (50% and 25%) and successfully applied these to relevant questions. He also made good progress when tackling more challenging percentages, especially when using strategies like breaking them into smaller parts (e.g., 10% + 5%). His confidence improved as he worked through the harder examples with guidance. Chloe did very well with reading and interpreting bar and picture graphs. She answered questions accurately and showed a growing understanding of how data is represented. When creating her own graphs, she organised information clearly and followed instructions well. Her engagement and effort were consistent throughout the session.

Luca still needs more practice with non-benchmark percentages, particularly those that require multi-step reasoning (such as 35%, 60%, or 12%). He sometimes hesitates when deciding which strategy to use, so continued work on breaking percentages into easier parts (like 10% + 10% + 5%) will help build fluency and confidence. Chloe would benefit from further practice when creating graphs, especially ensuring consistent scales and accurately representing the data visually. She occasionally rushes, which can lead to small errors in bar lengths or picture counts. More repetition with different data sets will help strengthen her accuracy and independence.

Luca was able to follow guided steps carefully and applied strategies for calculating percentages, decimal rounding, and converting fractions to percentages when supported. He engaged with the exercises and responded well to corrections, demonstrating understanding when the tasks matched his current skill level. Chloe did very well in collecting data, creating bar graphs, and interpreting them accurately. She confidently represented the survey data and showed a clear preference and better understanding of bar graphs compared to picture graphs. Her engagement and focus during the hands-on activities helped reinforce her learning effectively.

Luca needs to build confidence and independence with harder percentage problems, as he struggled when the calculations became more complex and required multi-step reasoning. Continued practice with a variety of percentages, including non-benchmark values, will help him develop greater fluency. Chloe would benefit from more practice with picture graphs and ensuring consistency when translating tally data into visual form. She should also continue practising interpreting data in different contexts to strengthen her overall graph-reading and data representation skills.

Luca showed good progress in decimal multiplication, applying the steps accurately and with increasing confidence. He was able to calculate fractions and simple percentages of amounts correctly and demonstrated a clear understanding of the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages. Chloe made strong progress in understanding fractions through visual models. She was able to identify fractions in shaded rectangles and circles accurately and could interpret the size of the fractions relative to the whole. Both Luca and Chloe engaged well with the session, worked through examples carefully, and showed growing confidence in applying their skills independently.

Luca would benefit from further practice with decimal multiplication and percentage calculations involving larger or less straightforward numbers to build fluency and speed. He should also continue reinforcing the connection between fractions, decimals, and percentages to ensure accuracy in a wider range of problems. Chloe needs more practice translating her understanding of fractions from visual models to numerical and worded problems. She sometimes hesitates when moving from shaded shapes to written fractions or comparing fractions in different contexts. Continued guided and independent practice will help both Luca and Chloe consolidate their skills and increase confidence in applying them across varied problems.
