Was able to visualise the ideas well, which translated into practical results when doing the maths itself. The formulas involved were also well done, and able to be used appropriately.

A little bit more work to do on being aware of ordering of coordinate points, which will help figuring out how the values go into the formulas quicker.

Able to follow the practical meaning behind abstract formula values, which helps to double check workings by giving a rough idea of how resulting graphs should look like.

Some of the algebra still needs a bit more work to solve, as some of the steps still require some exploration of ideas. Recommend to identify patterns that occur while doing questions, so similar types of questions can be solved by patterns, rather than the minute steps of algebra required.

Ethan was able to follow the FOIL method very well, expansion of quadratic expressions were picked up well, particularly in putting the multiplications in the right order.

Some of the multiplications need a little more attention when negative values are involved. In particular, the notation is sometimes incorrectly written, which can lead to some issues when completing the mechanical work. Established a very methodical way of separating concerns, so the individual multiplications can be focused on separately.

On factoring quadratic expressions, the foundations were well done, and the method of solving the questions (Inner/outer addition/multiplication) were able to be followed well.

The more complicated factorisations still need some work, as the normal factoring method becomes more complicated. Effectively, the reverse of the FOIL method needs to be understood well to solve these types of questions. Recommend going through the foundation work to know it very well, and then expand upon that afterwards.
