A large number of algebraic strategies were covered in the test and Emelia had not completed these on Maths pathways. I went through the steps with each question.

All algorithms MUST be written down in steps as the question progresses. Emelia is wanting to take short cuts to these, which can be done but as the work becomes more difficult all the steps no matter how minor must be written in the correct sequence.

Beginning of algebra to gain understanding. Covered further strategies that are used in year 7 for algebra

A large amount of work to be covered at the Year 7 level. Left work sheets

Emelia worked on the basic fraction programme as an introduction to fractions

This work was a year 3-4 level to cover basics and understanding

Learned new concepts. Remembered to collect like terms. Learned to write the equation in the required steps to add and subtract and solve the equations.

A lot of examples worked through with Emelia gaining confidence and having her responses correct. Excellent work.
