General comments of students: Generally well behaved during maths test. Henry and Michael were able to finish the test before the stipulated timing of 2 hours. William and Susan had a difficulty concentrating for the whole length of the paper.

Students showed understanding for the new topic of real numbers and are able to solve the tutorial exercises rather independently.

Improvement points of students:

Henry was slightly better disciplined after explaining the rationale of certain rules.

There is a need to train up the concentration of Susan and William as their short attention spans are the major impedence to them performing.
