This would help #m to increase #h work output and gain the practice #e needs to complete work within the given time. 4=#E is becoming more confident at counting and using the four operations. 5=#E has a sound understanding of many basic mathematical concepts. #E can accurately calculate the answers to multiplication tables #h recall speed is consistently improving. 6=#E can accurately calculate the answers to multiplication tables and just needs to keep practising to build up speed of recall. 7=#E still requires concrete materials for most of the tasks and is not yet able to complete work that requires abstract thinking. 8=#E has worked very hard to master multiplication tables and completes quizzes in record time which helps #m to work efficiently and recognise patterns. 9=#E is working hard to fill the gaps in #h learning and is just beginning to work more confidently. #H ability to work out multiplication facts is slowly improving. 10=#E is becoming more confident in counting and using place value. #N still needs to do most of #h work using concrete materials to establish the concepts. #E is working hard to master #h multiplication tables and needs to keep practising to build up speed and accuracy. 11=#E has made a commendable effort to master #h multiplication facts and completes the quizzes in good time. This skill has boosted #h confidence and has enabled #m to work efficiently. COMMENTS: S1 Maths YR3 3 Number2 1=Sometimes #h reading comprehension skills are not strong enough to enable #m to interpret word problems. 2=#E can solve simple one-step problems and is learning how to interpret more complex questions. 3=#E understands the four operations and can solve one-step problems. #E is developing strategies to solve more complex questions. 4=#E is beginning to solve simple problems and is learning how to interpret word problems. 5=#E is developing effective problem solving strategies and is learning how to solve more complex questions. 6=#E is beginning to solve simple word problems. #E needs to work hard to improve #h reading skills so that #e can interpret word problems without assistance. 7=#E can solve one-step problems that require simple calculations. Completing any of the four operations using larger numbers is still a challenge for #m. 8=#E understands numbers and place value and successfully uses the four operations to solve one-step problems. #E is learning how to solve more complex questions and to interpret longer word problems. 9=#E is beginning to recognise simple patterns and is gaining confidence in solving problems. 10=The ability to recognise patterns depends largely on automatic recall of number facts and #N needs to keep practising to improve #h accuracy and speed of recall. #E is beginning to solve simple word problems.
