While Astrid makes a number of silly mistakes (i.e., forgetting that we are subtracting instead of adding, or dividing instead of multiplying), it is evident that she is starting to catch herself making these mistakes, and fixing them before they are pointed out. Once she learnt how to rearrange equations, she was able to solve the questions relatively quickly. Her 3 and 4-times tables are getting much better as well.

Astrid's 6- and 7- times tables needs practice. If she sees something like 7x4, she will start to feel overwhelmed before being reminded that 7x4 is the same as 4x7. Once she sees the 4x7, she can solve the equation with relative ease. It is evident that she is getting faster and faster as well.

Astrid genuinely tries to recall her multiplications and can remember multiples of 5 extremely easily. She engages in her learning and genuinely tries to improve. We introduced the 9 times table using the hand trick, and she seemed to resonate with that well. She remembers that in multiplication, the sequence of numbers can be read in any order (e.g., 4x6 = 6x4).

Astrid consistently forgot 4x3 when going over the 4 times table. She tries to recall in her mind what value comes next when counting the times tables but this takes quite a long time, and has to be prompted to count using her fingers (i.e., 4x4 = 16, so to get to 4x5 she can go 17, 18, 19, 20). Overall, while she still struggles, she is getting faster when Astrid remembers to write down her multiplications instead of trying to mentally recall it.

Astrid is quick to pick up concepts and has an amazing attitude. She identified what exactly she wanted to work on and where she struggled.

Once Astrid becomes comfortable with the numbers and methods, she starts to forget that we are either subtracting or adding. For example, if we're subtracting, she will forget that we are and end up adding the numbers instead. She needs to space out her homework/practice to retain the knowledge learnt.

Astrid can regroup numbers well in addition. She can partition 3-digit numbers well, even requiring regrouping, in addition. She also learnt regrouping in subtraction, and the different rules that follow subtraction.

Astrid needs to remember the difference between addition and subtraction - she often forgot we were subtracting and would add the numbers together. Further, she needs practice consolidating the rules learnt regarding subtraction and regrouping.
