Nkamba is a bright and capable mathematics student whose ability to understand and apply her learning has been impressive over the weeks I have taught her. Nkamba has been consistently enthusiastic during her lessons and should be proud of what she has achieved over a short time. During our sessions Nkamba quickly moved on to the Key Stage 3 syllabus that will take her on to Key Stage 4, the preparation for the GCSE standard exam, where I believe she will perform well. We have covered:
- Rounding [highly useful for simplifying data, such as that demonstrated in the Tanzanian statistical report 2010]
- Standard index form [to allow large numbers to be handled easily eg Tanzanian population and land area]
- Handling powers, ratio and proportion
- Interpreting and generating statistical figures and charts [bar charts, pie charts, pictogram, data mean, data mode and positive and negative correlation]
- Percentages [used specifically to interpret the data within the Tanzanian statistical report 2010]
- Nkamba should feel confident in her ability in mathematics and continue her hard work so that she achieves the potential that she clearly demonstrated.
Fred:
Fred is a highly talented and capable mathematician who has the potential to go far in his studies and achieve his ambition of becoming an Engineer. Fred is enthusiastic, confident and energetic in his engagement in his lessons and has demonstrated his rapid acquisition of knowledge and its immediate implementation. Due to Fred’s obvious talent he was immediately put on to the Key Stage 3 syllabus that will that will take him on to Key Stage 4, the preparation for the GCSE standard exam, where I believe he will perform well.
We have covered:
Transformations – reflections, rotations, translations and enlargements that will allow Fred to manipulate shapes and structures using a computer.
Perpendicular bisectors, angle bisectors and loci that allow areas to be segmented, for example to interpret land regulations.

Percentages [used specifically to interpret the data within the Tanzanian statistical report 2010]
Sequences, linear equations and quadratic equations that can be used along with graphs to denote constant acceleration, speed and distance
Fred should feel proud of his impressive progress in such a short time and continue his hard work since he is capable of achieving his goal.
Mariam:
Mariam’s growing confidence in her mathematical ability was a pleasure to see especially after she started work on the Key Stage 3 syllabus – the ground work for Key Stage 4 that will allow her to take her GCSE standard exam in the subject. Initially quiet, Mariam became more vocal as the weeks progressed, ending with her high energy in learning rounding of Tanzanian statistics!
We have covered:
Standard index form [to allow large numbers to be handled easily eg Tanzanian population and land area]
Rounding [highly useful for simplifying data, such as that demonstrated in the Tanzanian statistical report 2010]
Handling powers, ratio and proportion
Compound interest
Percentages [used specifically to interpret the data within the Tanzanian statistical report 2010
Mariam was a pleasure to teach and should be really proud of what she achieved over such a short time scale.
Edina:
Edina is an engaging and energetic person who rapidly understood and applied her mathematics learning. Edina quickly moved on to the Key Stage 3 syllabus – the ground work for Key Stage 4 that will allow her to take her GCSE standard exam in the subject. Edina’s natural sense of fun made her a pleasure to teach and it was remarkable how quickly she picked up the more difficult elements of the subject.

Edina should continue with her natural enthusiasm and hard work, building on her confidence and allowing her to achieve in mathematics.
Kundi:
As the youngest person I taught, it was hugely impressive that Kundi kept up with her peers, understanding difficult points and demonstrating a particular flare for mathematics. Kundi’s quick mind meant that she could understand the more stretching elements of her lessons, always being energetic in her studies. Kundi was a pleasure to teach.
