Lilly was introduced to early Year 7 algebra concepts and demonstrated a good understanding of how variables can be used to represent unknown values. She was able to form and simplify basic algebraic expressions with guidance.

As the content was more advanced, she occasionally needed prompting to choose the correct steps. Continued exposure to Year 7-style problems will support her confidence and fluency.

Lilly successfully engaged with more advanced Year 7 algebra, including solving simple and two-step equations. She demonstrated strong reasoning skills and showed increased confidence when explaining her thinking.

She often made small errors when working through multiple steps. Slowing down and checking her answers will improve accuracy with more complex problems.

Lilly demonstrated a good understanding of how negative numbers work on a number line and was able to correctly compare and order them. She was confident when identifying which numbers were greater or smaller and could relate negative numbers to real-life contexts such as temperatures and debt. Her accuracy improved when visual models and simple examples were used.

She would benefit from more practice applying the rules of operations with negative numbers, especially when adding and subtracting mixed signs. She often hesitates or guesses when completing multi-step questions involving negatives. Continued exposure to word problems and guided practice with explaining her thinking will help strengthen her confidence and consistency.

Lilly accurately identified and compared a range of fractions. She explained her reasoning clearly when determining which fractions were larger or smaller.

She found some more complex fractions challenging. Further practice with varied examples will strengthen her understanding and confidence.
