Can easily and confidently find the area and perimeter of a rectangle with given side lengths. Can also confidently find possible side lengths and resulting perimeters of a rectangle if the area is GIVEN (this activity was done in school) (Practiced both in school and at home with parent) Can confidently and find prices of items that are x% off and compare certain prices and sales to find the cheapest and most expensive Ability to convert between percentages and fractions is improving Eventually gained confidence in multiplying fractions and accurately did problems on her own
Still a bit of confusion on percentages and fractions Did not remember how to multiply fractions, however was very quick to pick up the steps. More practice needed so she can remember how to do so on her own without much help Still learning the concept of note taking, as when she has trouble with some questions such as converting fractions and percentages, she forgets she has written notes in her book to help her.

Easier probability questions can be completed confidently and accurately Can easily complete area and perimeter problems, and understands how to complete them both when area is given and side lengths are given. Also remembers units as part of the answer. Can still confidently complete percentages and money questions with minimal assistance. Can convert between percentages and fractions by multiplying or dividing by 100 and (mostly) remembers to simplify her answers Remember what like and unlike fractions are and what they look like. Also after refresher can multiply fractions
Had some trouble with some more complicated questions. Also did not understand what number would be the denominator in these and for some did not understand what the question was asking her. Did not understand which units to be used when answering for area and perimeter, she was using cm2 and cm interchangeably. We did go through cm as a unit of length (for perimeter) and cm2 as a unit of area. Needs more practice to gain confidence in converting between percentages and fractions Still did not remember how to multiply fractions, needed me to explain briefly

After a short refresher, she was able to multiply and divide by powers of 10 on her own. Was very impressed, especially since we had not done this in a while Thorough understanding of 12 and 24 hour time Could easily do some probability questions, e.g. probability with objects, like marbles of different colour. Could easily add and subtract fractions, including those of different denominators. Also (without asking) was show me that her mixed numeral answers can also be represented as improper fractions Was able to multiply fractions without me having to remind her how
Made some errors and there was a bit of confusion with other probability questions. Such as for a question with raffle tickets and numbers, there was misunderstanding about what the questions were asking for. Some errors in fractions and percentages questions (as I started making them harder)

Remembers to write the date at the top of her page (note taking) By the end of the lesson she was able to easily identify types of triangles based on their side lengths and/or angle types Note taking: wrote notes on types of angles - very neat and accessible in her work book. Her drawings of the angles were accurate and a good size Can still easily add and subtract fractions. Gaining more confidence in multiplying fractions
Naming angles - needs more practice. Sometimes gets acute and obtuse confused Note taking: rushed her notes on types of triangles and as a result was more messy. Although she has the information written and the triangles drawn, she will most likely have trouble actually reading and understanding these notes if/when she needs to in the future.
