Again, we needed to do more work on the foundations. She was confident on drawing nets of shapes by didn't have the background knowledge a lot of the time about what a particular 3D shape would even look like.
Was able to listen carefully to the steps, and she went from not understanding at all to being able to answer standard questions by herself.

Again, needs to work on multiplication. I am working on a schedule for her to do multiplication practice at home by herself since it is really holding her back. Also needs to work on thinking about questions before blindly applying the steps, since every question requires something different.
Was able to focus effectively even online. Understood the work mostly well.

A couple of gaps in her knowledge, and some rules she didn't seem to have been taught. All cleared up by the end of the session though.
