I am good at finding percentages, decimals and fractions of different numbers. I need to improve on drawing the shapes of complex 2D nets
in 3D onto isometric paper. I would like to learn more about finding the volume of shapes with lots of edges. My targets are: ‘I can solve problems involving ordering, adding and subtracting negative numbers,’ and ‘I know and use the order of operations including brackets.’
What can I do well? I can work out a variety of maths problems which come my way.
What do I need to improve? To work out how to recognise the order of rotational symmetry.
What would I like to learn? I would like to learn how to recognise the order of rotational symmetry but I only need a bit of help with it.
I can calculate and identify the circumference (distance around the edge of the circle) and area of a cicle. To calculate the circumference of the circle you multiply the diameter (the maximum distance from one side of the circumference to the other side of the circumference) and Pi – which is 3.14. To calculate the area of a circle you square the radius (half the diameter) then multiply that number with Pi.
I need to improve on being able to visualise and use 2D representations of 3D objects.
I want to learn how to picture a 3D shape using a 2D net that has patterns on it so that I can visualise where those patterns are on the 3D model. I also want to learn how to calculate the area of triangles.
My targets for this term are: I use formulae for the area of a triangle and parallelogram, and the volume of a cuboid; I am able to visualise and use 2D interpretations of 3D objects; I can construct data tables for discrete or continuous sets of raw data, choosing suitable class intervals.
What can I do well? I know and use the formulae for the circumference and area of a circle. I am also good at fractions, decimals and percentages; I am also very good at finding square and prime numbers (to do this, you must be very good at times tables.)
I think I need to improve checking my work and making sure I don’t make silly mistakes that could effect my chance of getting a level 6. I would like to learn square roots of numbers and the formulae for the area of a triangle or a parallelogram. Also learn how to calculate the volume of a cuboid.
My targets are: I use the knowledge that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees and of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees to then identify alternate and corresponding angles. Also – I solve very difficult problems by breaking them into smaller, more manageable tasks- and I use a range of efficient techniques, methods and resources and: I can plot the graphs of linear functions, where y is given in terms of x.
What I am quite good at is finding the volume of a shape and finding the area and perimeter of complex shapes; as well as this I am able to find the radius, circumference and diameter of a circle given some measurements. However, improvement on expanding brackets could be useful; I need practise at balancing out both sides with the algebraic symbols and numbers. The thing that I would like to learn more about is algebra because I enjoy it a lot and I feel it could be useful to me in the future if I knew how to use it properly. These are my targets:
I can decide what I can do to challenge myself.
I can identify what I need to improve on.
I can decide what change in my work will have the biggest impact on my learning.
What can I do well?
I know the basic skills that you need for maths, (e.g: knowing time tables, telling the time and more).
I can work in a team and do things together, not separately.
What do I need to improve?
I need to work on more complex tables and graphs, so that I’m ready for SATs and I can have it as a life skill for when I’m older.
I need to be able to say my time tables quickly with no hesitation.
I also need to brush up on my ratio.
What would I like to learn?
I would like to learn how to do questions on more complex graphs and tables.
I would also like to like to learn more ratio, because that is something that I find particularly challenging!
What are my targets?
I have a variety of targets which are split up into separate sections with the headings: Number, Shape and Space, Applying and Data. For example:
Number- I can know and use the order of operations including brackets.
Shape and Space- I can calculate angles within shapes.
Applying- I can solve multi-step problems using efficient methods.
In maths, I am able to divide and multiply simple equations mentally. However when it comes to long division and multiplication (dividing and multiplying 2 digit numbers by 3 digit numbers) I use multiple division methods; which is another thing I have learnt in maths that is easy for me. I have learnt many different types of things in maths-thanks to the help of booster- such as : finding the area of a triangle, finding the decrease between two numbers in percentages, ratio and many more. However over all, the most memorable thing I’ve learnt is how to explain my answer in a way that will get me 3 marks.
I think I need to improve on the way I look at the maths sum because some simple math problems come across as hard in my mind and it takes me a while to get them right, however in the back of my mind I know that I can do it but I doubt myself sometimes (but I’ve gotten better at that). I also need to work on if there is a question and I haven’t come across it before, I need to think of the logical way of working it out and then see if my answer is appropriate.
I would like to learn how to decide if probability can be calculated or estimated at a particular time.
To think of a logical way to answer math questions.
To answer a variety of problems that will challenge me.
To read the question twice and work out the answer three times.
I can plot lines with linear equations involving positive and negative numbers and solve the circumference using the formula Pi times radius squared. I am good at understanding negative and positive correlation
I would like to learn to use geometrical problems using my knowledge of properties of angles of parallel and intersecting lines and triangles and other polygons. I want to improve recording data from pie charts.
My targets are to use logical argument to establish the truth of an argument.
What can I do well?
I can expand brackets and find the area of a circle (radius squared x 3.14).
What do I need to improve?
I need to improve on describing line graphs and checking my answer using different methods.
What would I like to learn?
I would like to learn how to find the volume of 3D shapes and practice drawing shapes on geometric paper accurately.
What are my targets?
Shape and space- I use a ruler and compass to do standard constructions of shapes.
Data- I select a variety of tables, graphs and diagrams to communicate the interpretations and results of a data survey as clearly as possible.
Number- I can divide a quantity into two or more parts in a given ratio and then solve problems involving ratio and proportion.
I know that my addition and subtraction are really good as I have achieved loads of success in both subjects. I think my multiplication and division are okay, but they still are a work in process. I hope that I master them and become a expert at them. My algebra is not the best and is still progressing, but I hope that I can make it as good as I want it to be. My greatest target is to have mastered algebra by the end of the school year.
What can I do well?
I can think about the question I am being asked and consider it well and finally think about the answer and write it down. I can also think of different methods of working calculations and am able to break the questions down to make them easier to understand.
What do I need to improve?
I need to improve checking my answer in more detail to make sure they are what I thought the answer was. I also need to improve using geometric paper accurately and I also need to improve volume of 3D shapes.
What would I like to learn?
I would like to learn to visualise a made-up 3D shape in my head and make the net for it. I would also like to be able to solve shape problems easily and learn the different methods I could use to help solve it.
What are my targets?
My targets are to ensure I am as accurate as I can be and to try to make sure I extend myself. I am also trying to achieve thinking in a more creative way – so I can think of easier ways to work a hard question.
What I can do well:
In maths I think I can divide very well using bus stop and chunking. It helps me work out things and helps me get to know my times tables very well. I like doing times tables test because it gets my brain thinking and when we do times tables tests its gets you to be more quick and fluent in maths. I also am very good at adding, I can do it very clearly and can work out 1, 2, 3, 4 or even 5 digits number when we need to, I can also work out things in my head.
What do I need to improve:
I think I need to improve on my multiplying with 2 digit numbers together, because I always forget to add on the magic zero (as we call it). I also think I need to improve on my algebra because I get confused when multiplying and dividing with the letters.
What would I like to learn:
I would like to learn more algebra because I am not very confident when doing it and it will most probably be in SATS, so I would like to know how to do it a bit more. I would also like to do more symmetry because, although I can do vertical and horizontal lines, I am not very good at doing diagonal lines.
What are my targets:
I think that one of my main targets would be being confident and trying my best even if I don’t understand exactly what we are doing. I also think one of targets is showing my work clearly and checking my work to the full extent so I get that extra mark.
In maths what I can do well is adding subtracting numbers with more than one decimal place.
I need to improve on finding the area and perimeter of irregular shapes and an isosceles triangle. I would like to learn how to describe and predict out comes from data.
I am good at chosing whether I should do a calculation in my head or do it on paper. I can also sort shapes into irregular and regular groups; I can solve problems using an inverse operation. I need to try and subtract and add two digit numbers mentally, as well as three digit numbers. I would like to learn to add and subtract two and three digit numbers in my head.
I am good at algebra, expanding brackets and correlation graphs furthermore I am really good at addition, subtraction and mental maths.
I need to improve on word problems which include circumference and Level 6 very hard coordinates (with shapes in them) problems.
I would like to learn to write an expression to describe the nth term of a number sequence.
My target is to achieve Level 6 in maths!
What can I do well?
I can do column addition and subtraction. I can also do multiplication and division.
What do I need to improve?
I need to improve on ratio.
What would I like to learn?
I would like to learn how to do a ratio questions, for example: a gardener plants 4 white seeds for every 3 red seeds, if he plants 21 seeds in total how many red seeds does he plant?
What can I do well? I try to answer difficult questions by myself and try to work it out myself before getting an adult to help me. I know my timestable which could help me with my divison sums if I am struggling with them. I also know how to multiply decimals by single digits e.g. 0.9×9=8.1
What do I need to improve? I need improving on my ratio so I get it all right also 2 step problems so that they are also perfect.
I am good at using accurate vocabulary to explain solutions. In a test when it asks a question with a explanation, I could read the question again and use information from the text to help me in my test to help me get the mark. I would like to learn how to create test questions. I think this is my target because I do not want to forget anything in year 7.
