Aariz picked up the basics of forming and simplifying algebraic expressions quickly, and applied the area formulas for polygons and composite shapes accurately once the method was demonstrated.

Could use more practice translating worded problems into algebraic expressions, and should double-check unit consistency when calculating area of composite shapes.

Aariz grasped the distributive law and expanding brackets confidently, and handled straightforward volume and capacity calculations well.

Needs improvement: Needs more practice with expanding brackets involving negative coefficients and factorising expressions — a few sign errors came up during practice questions.

Aariz understood the concept of ratio and applied it correctly to divide quantities and simplify ratios, and picked up basic percentage calculations without much difficulty.

Very good skills on these contents already, practise more similar questions could consolidate his understanding more.

Ashton demonstrated a strong understanding of the core algebraic techniques and was able to apply factorisation methods with increasing confidence. His familiarity with previously covered trigonometric rules was also evident.

Continue developing accuracy and efficiency when working through more complex polynomial division and factorisation problems.
