Intro
Excellent progress has been made by # in Mathematics.

Good progress has been made by # in Mathematics.

Great effort has been made by # in Mathematics.

#  has tried hard to overcome difficulties in Mathematics.
"
Using Maths
^ has shown great ability in trying different approaches and finding ways of solving Math problems. 

^ is able to organise ~ work and checks results.

^ is beginning to organise ~ work and check results, and is becoming more adept at trying different approaches in problem solving.

^ shows more independence in organising ~ work, and is beginning to check ~ answers.

^ has worked consistently in trying different strategies when solving problems.

Some effort has been made to try different approaches in solving problems, but ^ needs reminding to check results.
"
Number & Algebra
^ understands place value well when multiplying and dividing, and can use simple fractions and describes number patterns.  

^ has sound understanding of factors, multiples and square numbers.

^ has developed ~ understanding of four rules well, and applies them appropriately to ~ work. 

^ has the ability to use multiples, factors and square numbers in ~ mental arithmetic. 
 
^ has a good understanding of place value.

^ has improved ~ understanding of place value and is beginning to use the four rules in correct context.  

^ has developed a better understanding of fractions, multiples and square numbers.
"
Shape
^ has excellent understanding of 2D symmetry, and is beginning to apply knowledge of angles in ~ work on Shape, particularly in ICT.

^ has worked extremely well on perimeter and area, and finds the volumes of shapes by counting cubes.  

^ has begun to work precisely when making 3D shapes from nets.

^ has a developing understanding of 2D symmetry, and is beginning to apply knowledge of angles in ~ work on Shape, particularly in ICT. 

^ has worked well on perimeter and area, and finds the volumes of shapes by counting cubes.

^ is able to make 3D shapes from nets. 
"
Handling Data

^ is able to collect and record data in simple tables and lists, and constructs bar charts and line graphs.

 ^ interprets the information when questioned.

^ has the ability to create bar charts and can present information in simple results tables with increasing understanding and accuracy.

^ has worked hard to develop ~ graphing skills, particularly when creating bar charts.  ^ can record data in results tables with help.
"
Target
^ could develop ~ Mathematical skills by explaining and offering reasons for ~ work.

^ needs to apply ~ Mathematics knowledge when investigating - by searching for patterns in numbers and data.

^ needs to increase ~ Mental Mathematics skills - particularly in speed and recalling Maths facts - e.g. tables, weights and measures.
