Knows how to use a protractor and can accurately use to measure angles Can confidently identify types of angles when given an image of an angle Can also identify types of triangles based of their angle size and side lengths with very few mistakes
She understands the concept of angle sizes and can measure angles with a protractor, she needs further practice to be able to relate this to types of angles. For example, she sometimes forgets that the right angle is 90?. Furthermore, she can identify acute, obtuse, reflex, etc by looking at them, however can’t yet connect the degrees of an angle to its type, e.g. that an angle of 200? is a reflex angle because it is between 180 and 360.

Can easily identify acute, obtuse, right angled, scalene, isosceles and equilateral triangles (however with some error at times) Also can easily identify the types of angles - acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex and revolution, with minimal error Can easily use the online protractor to measure angles Confidently adds and subtracts fractions with different denominators by making a common denominator
Sometimes mixes up isosceles and scalene triangles. Also sometimes forgets the name “isoscles” Does not understand the concept of angle size and still makes some errors when using the protractor and when identifying a type of angle based on its degrees/size, e.g. an angle of 300? is a reflex angle. Area and perimeter has not been practiced in a while, got confused whether you multiply or add sides for area and perimeter, needs more practice Forgets how to multiply fractions, needs more practice so she can remember on her own.

Multiplications (including bigger numbers like even of three and four digit numbers) using vertical algorithms were completed confidently and with few minor mistakes Adding and subtracting fractions were completed easily and confidently Can confidently multiplying and divide by powers of 10 I let her practice her timetables at the end by play timetables games - she knows most of her timetables very well and counts on her fingers when unsure Can identify types of angles and triangles. She can also identify the types of angles in these different triangles
Does not remember how to solve area and perimeter problems on her own without revision first, will need more practice to be able to do the harder problems like she could earlier in the year She just can't remember how to multiply fractions on her own but she can do it when I give her an example - this was never really covered in school Will sometimes confuse obtuse and acute angles

Can easily and confidently find the area and perimeter of a rectangle with given side lengths. Can also confidently find possible side lengths and resulting perimeters of a rectangle if the area is GIVEN (this activity was done in school) (Practiced both in school and at home with parent) Can confidently and find prices of items that are x% off and compare certain prices and sales to find the cheapest and most expensive Ability to convert between percentages and fractions is improving Eventually gained confidence in multiplying fractions and accurately did problems on her own
Still a bit of confusion on percentages and fractions Did not remember how to multiply fractions, however was very quick to pick up the steps. More practice needed so she can remember how to do so on her own without much help Still learning the concept of note taking, as when she has trouble with some questions such as converting fractions and percentages, she forgets she has written notes in her book to help her.
