Approach
# never fails to bring a positive and highly motivated attitude to mathematics lessons.

# has developed a more confident and methodical approach to mathematics as time has progressed and ^ can now solve problems which require the application of two or more concepts.

# has made good progress in mathematics and ^ has proved *self to be an enthusiastic, polite and helpful student with a lively sense of humour.

I am particularly impressed with #'s positive approach to mathematics and ^ will one day enjoy the rewards of ~ continued effort.

# has worked very well throughout the year and has consolidated and developed ~ mathematical ability.

^ has shown on many occasions that if the understanding of a topic or concept is not forthcoming then ^ will work at it and seek advice until ^ is satisfied.

^ is quick to understand concepts and spots rules easily - ^ can mechanically answer questions but finds problem solving difficult as the route to the answer is often less clear.

^ is, nevertheless, very good at asking questions concerning what ^ finds difficult and clearly values individual attention in lessons.
