COMMENTS: 1. Progress, maths, stage 3 1=#N has made #grade progress in mathematics, over the last two terms. 2=#N has made some progress in numeracy when given #support support. 3=#N has improved #degree in maths, recently. COMMENTS: 2-Participation, maths, stage 3 1=#N sometimes asks questions and adds to discussions with support 2=#N rarely asks questions or adds to discussions 3=#N asks questions and adds to discussions with prompting from the teacher 4=#N sometimes asks questions or adds to discussions without teacher support 5=#N regularly asks questions and adds to discussions 6=#N often asks questions, sometimes adding to discussions 7=#N consistently asks on-topic questions and adds to discussions 8=#N asks on-topic questions in class and offers helpful insights to many discussions 9=#N consistently and thoughtfully asks questions and adds to most discussions 10=#N asks any questions needed to make learning clear and consistently adds to usefully to class discussions COMMENTS: 3. Strategies 1=and is able to #consistency select appropriate problem solving strategies to demonstrate #h #grade fluency in mathematical techniques. 2=and can #consistency choose the right strategies to solve #h problems in maths. When #e does this, #e has shown a #grade success in using the techniques of maths. COMMENTS: 4. Terminology and reasoning 1=#E #uses mathematical terminology and #conventions, #gives valid reasons when comparing and selecting from possible solutions, and #makes connections with existing knowledge and understanding. 2=#E #uses vocabulary and #conventions. #E #gives clear reasons when choosing the right answer to different problems, and #makes links to what #e already knows. COMMENTS: 5. Summing Up 1=#N always tries #h best and works hard at all times. An excellent performance, keep it up! 2=#N has improved in many areas, in the last two terms. This was a significant achievement #e should be proud of #s. To help #e with keeping this up next year #e should #next-step. 3=#N has improved in many areas, in the last two terms. This was because of their effort in learning and #e should be proud of #s. To help #e with keeping this up next year #e should #next-step. 4=#N has achieved a #grade level, overall. #E often works below #h best and with a little more effort #e could likely improve. One thing #e can do that would help is to #next-step. 5=#N has not had the best of starts this term and is still working at a #grade level. #E rarely completes #h work on time. One way that #e could work to improve #s is to #next-step. COMMENTS: Sample intro sentences 1=#N is an outstanding student who has worked very hard throughout the #Time-period and I expect #m to do well in #h exams next year. 2=#N has had a mixed #Time-period but there are signs of improvement in #h behaviour of late. 3=After a difficult start #N has done some excellent work and is now back on target. A very pleasing #Time-period. Well done #N! 4=#N is a friendly and hard-working member of the class and has put in a steady performance throughout the #Time-period. 5=Overall #N has worked very well but there are a few issues with #h time-keeping and homework that #e needs to address. 6=We have been working on the Environmental Issues module throughout the #Time-period. #N seems to enjoy this topic and has made very pleasing progress. COMMENTS: Sample project-work sentences 1=#E has worked hard this year on all of #h projects but I was especially impressed with the high-quality of #h #Science-topics assignment. 2=Project-work has been done to a minimum standard and is often handed in late. To improve #e needs to #How-to-improve. 3=Although #h #Science-topics project-work was satisfactory, I do expect #m to do more background research next time. 4=#H project-work is always excellent as demonstrated in #h #Science-topics assignment. We were all very impressed with #h creative and entertaining website designs which were an inspiration to the class. 5=#H project-work has varied considerably, however #h highly-imaginative #Science-topics project was excellent and was displayed in reception at the School Open Day. An excellent achievement #N. COMMENTS: Sample summing-up sentences 1=#N always tries #h best and has achieved a well-deserved Level #? overall. An excellent performance, keep it up! 2=#N has reached Level #?. This was #h target and #e should be proud of #s. To ensure #e keeps this up next year #e should #How-to-improve. 3=#N has achieved a Level #? overall. #E often works below #h best and with a little more effort #e could easily reach Level #?. To improve #e should #How-to-improve. 4=#N has not had the best of starts this year and is still working at Level #?. #E rarely completes #h work on time. To achieve more next year #e needs to #How-to-improve.
