Check understanding
- Set a specific, achievable learning goal for themselves — e.g. 'By Friday I want to know all my 7-times tables' rather than just 'get better at maths'
- Make a simple plan for how to reach their goal and follow through on it over several days
- After the deadline, honestly assess whether they achieved the goal and describe what they would do differently next time
