Bryce seems to understand the content, for example, when I tried to explain to him how multiplication works by using pipe cleaners to represent numbers he was able to apply his 5 times tables to count quickly. He was also quick to adopt the concept of tallying, understanding that it was a faster way to count more efficiently. Bryce is a curious kid, which allowed him to ask questions whenever he was confused on something. To be honest, although Bryce gets distracted easily he's also very fast to get back on track and is honest if he is getting bored with the current work and is open to trying different ways to learn.

It was quite clear that Bryce is not confident in his mathematical answers ,which was evident in him being hesitant in circling his multiple choice answers. He struggled a lot with differentiating with addition and multiplication. As of now i'm not sure if he truly understands the multiplication concept or if he was simply following patterns. Bryce is easily intimidated by the format of maths questions. Though, he works well with worded questions, he lacks the confidence to complete maths when written on it's own.

His pattern recognition is very good as well his ability to break habits quickly. He is now more confident with addition and subtraction and is ready to move onto multiplication.

He still counts on his fingers and can't add anything above 5 without struggling. Needs more work on speed (this can come with practice)
