Adrien understands how to solve equations in the correct order to a high standard and level above his year. There are some flaws in fundamentals such as in division and fraction processes however that is expected due to his young age.
More practice in fundamental operations such as division will improve his ability to apply these to more complex questions
Most concepts covered were understood given explanation and much of the work was at a level above the expectation.

In general just honing in on current concepts at a year 3 level will allow him to improve on high level questions at a much faster rate.
Adrien was able to apply the visual strategies taught on his own quite well, and understood the concept and logic behind bar diagrams to solve questions.

Adrien still needs to maintain accuracy and consistency in reading the questions fully and understanding the final "goal" of the question rather than setting his own conclusions. Silly mistakes and time losses can often occur from this.
Questions especially in relation to money calculations were solved well, and harder problem solving strategies were understood and applied well.

Adrien tends to continue to solve more complex questions and solutions in his head rather than apply division/multiplication working out which can help save a lot of time. It is important Adrien understands in the long term that consistent written working out is more used and helpful than mental.
