Bora has grasped the strategy of ‘talking aloud’ when doing questions. Bora was able to understand how to use the long multiplication method for 2 digit numbers. He was able to do the question by himself with confidence. He also understood how to write out numbers such as “3, 345, 267” in words with the correct spelling.

Bora found it challenging to use the long multiplication method for numbers over 2 digits. He also struggled to remember times tables with larger numbers (e.g. 9 x 8). He found the wording of worded fraction questions difficult to comprehend. It is important that Bora completes his homework in order to solidify his knowledge of the content we learned in the lesson.

Bora was able to understand the “long multiplication” method. He also began to understand the concept of creating the same denominator, however it is important that he completes the homework to practise applying the method to different scenarios (especially worded questions).

Bora found it difficult to remember the concept of "whatever you do to the denominator, do to the numerator" concept. He also struggled to understand the placement of numbers on a number line. Ensuring Bora “talks aloud” whilst doing tedious methods taught (such as long multiplication) is pivotal in avoiding small errors. It is also vital that he writes all steps of his working out.
