💭 Working Mathematically

Habit tips: short, frequent sessions beat long ones. Do one drill, then one reasoning set. Explain the strategy out loud — if you can teach it, you know it. Always estimate before you calculate, then check your answer is reasonable.

◆Self-check: am I test-ready?

Tick each — these are what the selective test actually rewards.

I can give the answer and explain why (reasoning, not just the answer) I can choose the efficient method, not just the automatic one I can solve a word/multi-step version, not just the bare symbols I can do it without a calculator, in time, and check it's reasonable

How to use the planner: pick 4–5 short sessions this week. Spread across strands (don't let one go cold). A topic is "done" when you can tick the readiness checks — not when you just finished a page. The goal is fluency that turns into reasoning on unseen problems.
