Grace understands the fundamentals of the concepts we covered in preparation for her test on Thursday, and in particular has a good grasp of place value and addition and subtraction algorithms. She picked up on new strategies quickly and used them well. :)
Grace should practice questions on ordering decimals and converting fractions to decimals specifically because I taught her new methods to handle these problems. She would also benefit from revising BODMAS questions and remembering to write out every step when using algorithms. Grace should be sure to read questions carefully.
