Zakari
Zak worked from Maths Plus 4 Stage 2, pages 96 (Coordinates), 97 (Representing data), 98 (Compensation strategy) and 99 (Division strategies). He doesn't seem to have any problems with plotting coordinates on a grid, however golf terminology is another matter! The exercise on this page asked him to map the journey of a golf ball from the tee to the hole, however the last instruction was "He then sunk his putt", so Zak plotted this on the lake as opposed to the hole! He competently draws graphs, both picture and column.
He worked well through compensation strategy, and for the most part, did well with division strategies. I find his biggest downfall is when he is getting towards the end, he tends to rush and make silly errors (eg. 19 ÷ 4 = 16 remainder 3, instead of 4 remainder 3 - because he knows that 4 x 4 = 16), but there are no major errors or lack of understanding of the concepts so far.
Zak then went on to Writing Matters 3, pages 32 - 35 (Practice and revision of horizontal joins), and has shown some improvement in his handwriting in the last couple of days.
Later in the evening, Zak finished reading George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl.
Kaliah
Kaliah worked in Targeting Maths Year 2, pages 14 (Addition patterns), 15 (Addition on a number line) and 16 (Addition to twenty). She handles addition quite well, and is beginning to see the different addition patterns for each number. She also works well using a number line for adding, and confidently solves addition problems up to 20.
Once her maths was complete, Kaliah read Disney's Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story: Buzz and the Bubble Planet, and wrote about both of them.
Khaemon
Khaemon worked on pages 18 (Make a Number Group) and 19 (Make a Number Story (2)) in My First Maths Book. He enjoyed drawing raindrops from the clouds so that each cloud had 10 raindrops.
