Astrid is quick to pick up concepts and has an amazing attitude. She identified what exactly she wanted to work on and where she struggled.

Once Astrid becomes comfortable with the numbers and methods, she starts to forget that we are either subtracting or adding. For example, if we're subtracting, she will forget that we are and end up adding the numbers instead. She needs to space out her homework/practice to retain the knowledge learnt.

Astrid can regroup numbers well in addition. She can partition 3-digit numbers well, even requiring regrouping, in addition. She also learnt regrouping in subtraction, and the different rules that follow subtraction.

Astrid needs to remember the difference between addition and subtraction - she often forgot we were subtracting and would add the numbers together. Further, she needs practice consolidating the rules learnt regarding subtraction and regrouping.

After going through the first worksheet and identifying how to combine multiplication and addition, Astrid was able to complete the worksheet on her own with limited help. She is starting to gain confidence in her maths abilities. She was also able to recite the four times tables by heart, up until 40.

Astrid needs practice remembering which number of the four times table corresponds to specific integrals. For example, I would ask her "what is 4 x 8?" she would take a moment and answer correctly. I would then ask "what is 4 x 7?" and again, she would take a moment. Then when I ask her again, "what is 4x8?" she still takes the same amount of time calculating the value from scratch, rather than remembering she had answered it just one question ago. Astrid needs to also work on actually calculating rather than guessing, and she tends to become overconfident quite quickly. We will continue to work together to find a balance between her confidence and maths abilities.

Astrid knows how to carry the numbers when doing addition and can do so without my help! This is a great improvement from when we last did addition with carrying, where I had to remind her to carry her numbers multiple times. The more we went through the worksheets, she quicker she was getting, showing great improvement from just one month prior.

Astrid needs to improve her mental arithmetic. For example, remembering that 5 + 7 = 12, and 7+5 is also 12. However, this is something that is improved with practice, and Astrid has shown marked improvement compared to one month prior. She can make silly mistakes like miscounting her numbers or accidentally skipping an integer, and needs to learn to slow down at times.
