GAPSENSE EXERCISE BOOK ANALYSIS REPORT

Joan (Year 9, labelled B7 in this context) demonstrates solid procedural competence across most topics: HCF, integer inequalities, simple linear equations, Speed/Distance/Time formulae, and Pythagorean theorem final answers are largely correct. The most significant and consistent error pattern is in computing 13²: the student obtained 182 in the main working (Q5 RHS) and 164 in the pupil response correction — both incorrect (correct value: 169). This squaring error is persistent and not self-corrected in working, though the final answer for Q5 (5) was written correctly, suggesting possible self-correction or use of a reference. The error maps to B6.1.2.1 (index notation and squaring). Square root extraction of perfect squares appears intact (√100 = 10, √64 = 8 both correct). The inequality listing in RHS ④ may show a boundary inclusion error (omitting -3) but teacher marked it correct, so this is flagged with low confidence. The teacher's feedback ('This is not good enough Joan, you need to put in more effort. Correct your questions please!') indicates broader concern about work quality. NOTE: This exercise book is labelled Year 9 / Compound Measures, which is above the B7 grade level indicated in the student context — the curriculum node matches available in the prerequisite graph are limited and may not fully capture the Year 9 content scope.
