Year 8 student Charlie worked on simplifying polynomial expressions and using the distributive property to factor algebraic terms.

For Year 7, Mia focused on calculating mean, median, and range for small data sets, with extra practice interpreting stem-and-leaf plots.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Olivia tackled multiplying and dividing fractions as well as reviewing NAPLAN writing tasks by planning story outlines around who, what, when, where, and why.

One Year 8 student repeatedly avoided completing set homework (probability questions and re-writing an introduction), leading to less effective preparation for class tests.

As a tutor noted, "she wasn't cooperative and didn't want to involve herself in the lesson, even though she has a test the next day."

In Year 7 mathematics, another student became distracted during online tasks, with missed deadlines and unfinished MathSpace activities.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner struggled to stay focused on equivalent fractions worksheets—often shifting attention to drawing instead of engaging with practice questions. This left foundational skills underdeveloped when moving into new topics.

A tutor in Mundaring recently noticed some great shifts among students. One high schooler who used to avoid asking questions about algebra now regularly speaks up when stuck, which has led her to independently solve problems on simplifying expressions for the first time.

Another student in Year 10 was able to complete all her set maths homework without needing reminders, and even identified the next topic she wanted to tackle—a big step from last year's struggles with motivation.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously guessed at spellings now stops to sound out words before writing them down.
