Eliza has a clear understanding of the definitions of area and perimeter of composite shapes, and she is also very skilled at dividing composite shapes into simpler parts.
When calculating the perimeter, first label the length of each side on the diagram, and be careful not to include any auxiliary lines you have added. When calculating the area, first decide whether to use the addition method or the subtraction method. If it is a hollow shape, you must use the subtraction method. For a regular composite shape, choose whichever method you prefer. When calculating the area of a triangle, do not forget the one-half at the beginning of the formula. Be clear about the definition of a triangle’s height: it is the perpendicular line drawn from a vertex to the base. We didn’t have time today to work on problems involving circles. Before the Week 2 test, please review our previous notes on circles—I remember they are in one of Eliza’s notebooks.

Eliza is familiar with what the four properties represent. She can quickly identify whether the question provides the radius or the diameter, and use the appropriate formula to calculate the circumference.
When calculating area, Eliza is not yet very confident in using squares—she often mistakes squaring for simply multiplying by two. She needs more practice to strengthen her understanding and correct application of the area formula.

Eliza has made rapid progress in solving addition and subtraction equations. After I guided her through a few examples, she was able to complete the problems independently. Although she worked at a slower pace, most of her answers were correct.
Eliza is still quite confused when solving multiplication and division equations. I have guided her through a few examples, but due to time constraints, there are still six questions she needs to complete independently. It's important for Eliza to understand that our goal is to make the coefficient of the unknown variable equal to one. When the coefficient is a whole number greater than one (as in Questions 1 and 3), we need to divide both sides of the equation by that number. When the coefficient is a fraction (as in Question 2), we need to multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator of that fraction.

What Labiba needs to improve most is her use of the calculator when calculating probabilities in normal distribution—she’s not yet fluent, so more practice before the exam is recommended. In addition, please review the definitions of different sampling methods (simple, systematic, and stratified). When drawing a box plot, remember to label all five key numbers (min, Q1, Q2, Q3, max). If there are outliers, make sure to redefine the new max and min values excluding the outliers, adjust the whiskers accordingly, and mark outliers with a cross. For normal distribution questions, note that some common probabilities (like middle 68%, 95%, and 99.7%) can be recalled without a calculator. Lastly, when drawing a stem-and-leaf plot, make sure the numbers are arranged in order.
