Very confident in adding and subtracting fractions Can recall what integers, prime numbers and composite numbers are and can give me examples Was able to recall all types of triangles based on both angles and side lengths - we have not covered this this year was very impressed
Chloe was confident when finding the area and perimeter of rectangles, however when we started with harder shapes she lost confidence and didn’t know what to do. After some questions together we were able to do it, however last year she was able to do this skill easily, we will practice more. Needed some revision at first on types of angles and the size of them, after this she was able to remember all of them on her own, we have also only briefly covered this this year.

Overall confident with money and discount problems, made little errors and for the most part was very sure of herself, we have not covered this topic in a long time. Was able to use her knowledge of percentages Understands translations, rotations and reflections, difficulty with homework questions as there was no colour however we were able to make do. Only slight confusion when told to use certain points as an “axis” which was quickly resolved Problem solving questions using the discounts was very easy, despite being out of practice Chloe was very confident with questions about money
Understands basic probability very well however had difficulty applying this knowledge when the conditions of the spinner changed and questions got harder - better comprehension of worded questions needed Problem solving/number and algebra when using the spinner, needs more practice for understanding which numbers go at the bottom and top of the fractions when worded questions start to get more difficult

Found adding and subtracting fractions easy as always, was able to complete these questions on her own using multiple strategies and barely made any errors. Remembered the difference between mixed numbers and improper fractions and was able to convert between them on her own Was able to easily read the table and graph and explain what they showed. I was impressed that she knew which axes were the x and y and which variable went on which Was able to read the cruise ship timetable correctly and accurately count in her head the times asked y the questions. Was overall good at inferring information from the table Found the "problem solving" section very easy as it used her strength of adding and subtracting fractions and the question itself was not wordy.
Started off with worded problems today. Chloe does not read the whole question and often does not read them properly before answering the question, we need to focus on how to properly annotate and read these wordy questions as this will be important in highschool. For the temperature table and graph problems, these were not difficult questions she just showed the wrong answer because she didn't read the question properly and needed reminding on what the question actually asked For the cruise ship time table, she missed crucial information in the table because she didn't read it properly before answering the questions.

Found the adding fractions questions easy, they were easier than the ones I have been doing with her. Was very confident and only made mistakes at the end when it required adding multiple fractions, e.g. the last question asked her to add six numbers Good at reading pie charts, inferring information and answering questions about them Can confidently count time and read a timetable
Worded questions wasn’t too bad however could use some more practice, her tiredness also impacts how she does with these questions. Needs a bit more comprehension with these questions ? time, pie charts worded “problem solving” questions
