Was quite confident with plotting parabolas and could do so very quickly with both turning point and general forms. Was good with surd addition and subtraction.

Could use more work on simplifying surds and on rationalising the denominator.
Sophie's understanding of quadratic modelling was quite good, and she seemed to remember most relevant ideas brought up in class from all the content.

Being able to transform mathematical ideas into algebra was somewhat a trouble area, something that comes with more practice. Despite strong understanding of problems, doing more to get used to them and learning the patterns that appear in such problems is needed.
Ben had a good grasp on the concepts in these areas, and his assignment was tracking quite well.

Needs some more practice with the harder styles of these questions, since his understanding is quite good, the main thing Ben needs here is just more exposure and getting used to some harder examples.
Sophie was quite good at plotting graphs and using the standard forms of quadratics. Performed algebraic manipulations fairly well.

Despite overall good algebra skills, there are still some small errors in things such as squaring and expanding brackets. Can use some more work on understanding the discriminant and how to use it.
