- Oscar has made good progress on topic 2 content and showing improvements in efficiency and comprehension. - Oscar continues to approach each lesson with a positive attitude demonstrating aspects of his initiative that is key to his success.

- Although improvements are clearly present, there are certain areas that still need some refining. - Again Oscar keeps falling for those small mistakes that could cost him. I have recommended that he needs to adopt a 1-second rule, where he takes 1 second to double check each line of working, making sure he hasn't done something wrong. Over time and with enough practice, this won't be necessary.

- Oscar has made a good start in revising Topic 2 content (week 4-5). Through some explanation he’s able to complete the questions presented. Note however that the same that has been done for topic 1 should be done for topic 2. Throughout this week and the next, we’ll be working on retaining content covered between week 4 and 5, making sure he’s properly understood the concepts being taught to him.

- Similar to last week, it’s those small mistakes that will catch Oscar out in the exam. He needs to be careful when doing his working, making sure he’s checking over his calculations each time he finishes a problem. - Being quick and efficient is vital especially in exam settings. Although it’s not something I want to address right now as its better to focus on understanding the material, this is definitely something that needs to be looked at to ensure Oscar is ready at the end of term. - I do also want to stress the importance of finishing the homework given. I don’t want to pressure him too much, but I remain confident that going through as much practice problems as possible is the most effective way to understand and retain mathematics.

- Oscar is showing good improvement of his algebra: collecting like terms, expanding brackets etc. This is a great step-up from the previous week. I think this highlights the importance of continuously retaining content and doing practice problem, which from doing the homework, allowed Oscar to gain more experience in the topic - He is continuously showing a positive attitude when going through lesson problems, which is key to his success

- Although I am fairly confident in his understanding of algebra, there will always be room for improvement no matter the level of experience. I will be continuing to provide him homework problems based on the topics he is studying in class as the weeks go by. - Oscar tends to do small working out mistakes (missing a negative sign or writing the wrong number). We need to work of his focus so those small mistakes don’t happen.

- He’s an active listener and engaged in the content we’re going through. - Oscar responds well to feedback and applies it to improve his responses to questions

- His awareness when completing questions will be worked on. He often overlooks important details or parts of the information given. - We’ll be continuing to work on his algebra to strengthen his skills in solving linear problems.
