Noticed an improvement in Ella’s understanding of fractions which is great. Was able to divide small numbers by using the visual method which is good.

- recommend using a times table song to learn 8 and 9 times tables, as this will make it less stressful - When doing subtraction involving questions where you borrow a one from the tens column , Ella sometimes forgets to take one away. This just needs repetition, until it becomes automatic. So, once borrow, you cross out and take one away from the tens column.

From the lesson with Ella, I could see that she is a hard worker and tries her best in maths She Improved subtraction after reminder of the method Good addition skills

Ella relies on counting up and down for her times tables, and whilst this method works it would benefit to explore alternative methods - such as visually - fractions - revision on 3/4, 2/3rds etc. Ella, worked well with real life examples. - division methods - It would be useful to explore strategies that Ella can use on her maths worksheets - for example using colours and circling key words in questions to help her process what it is asking.

- It’s a pleasure to work with Ben this term- he has shown great consistency, and an awesome work ethic. - Ben has a good understanding of the different graphs and is able to answer most questions

- revision of terms : mean (average) median (middle) mode (most frequent) - revising terminology - vertical / horizontal axis

Ben works consistently, and his strengths suit the unit on shapes, rotations and congruent figs.

questions that involve problem solving, particularly ones involving speed/ distance and time
