Marina could use the cross method to factorise quadratics very well. With prompting she was also able to use the difference between two squares rule and was able to identify when to apply each rule.
Marina needs to make sure she keeps practising factorisation as it can be easy to forget as you first learn it.

The problem solving questions covered in her class were quite difficult and unlike what she had done before. Despite this she still had a good go and was able to get a few of them.
Generally the most important aspect of problem solving is being able to organise your work, as there are typically a lot of moving pieces to keep track of. This is an area where Marina struggles, and she should try to keep a clear structure and label things if needed.

Marina was able to use reasoning to match parabolas to their equations. She was able to draw parabolas using a table of values, and eventually just using transformations. Much of this topic was new and she did a good job learning it quickly.
Marina needs to make sure she checks her work as she goes along. She should try to work through the maths rather than relying heavily on patterns in previous questions.
Marina is able to calculate and add the areas using appropriate formulas for various sides of a shape quite well.
Marina is able to calculate and add the areas using appropriate formulas for various sides of a shape quite well.
Marina has significant difficulty drawing and visualising shapes. This means that she has trouble with the first step of finding surface areas, which is identifying the different sides, although she is able to do the rest of the calculations. This could perhaps be helped with 3D models.
