Year 6 student Zac worked on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions—including mixed and improper forms—and practiced using keywords like "of" for multiplication in sentence questions.

In Year 8, Yillen focused on applying Pythagoras' Theorem to solve right-angled triangle problems and explored how perimeter and area relate to these triangles.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ava tackled finding unknown angles in right-angle triangles using both the Pythagorean theorem and SOHCAHTOA, working through targeted homework questions for practice.

A Year 8 student left notes and workbooks at school, making it hard to revise for an exam—this meant no clear reference point when trying unfamiliar questions.

In Year 11, one student relied on a calculator that "seemed a little off," which led to confusion over unexpected answers during trig problems.

Another in Year 7 avoided writing full working for SOHCAHTOA rearrangements; as the tutor put it, "she skipped steps, so sign errors weren't caught."

A Year 3 learner mixed up tens and tenths when rounding decimals—her working was messy and hard to follow, leading to repeated corrections mid-task.

One Booker Bay tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to wait for prompts now volunteering answers during trigonometry sessions, even explaining how he solved problems with SOHCAHTOA—something he'd previously avoided.

A Year 8 student, after struggling with rearranging formulas and substituting values, surprised her tutor by independently working through several algebraic word problems without needing reminders.

In a primary session, a quiet Year 4 learner who was hesitant to ask questions started drawing out currency diagrams herself to tackle addition and subtraction tasks, showing real initiative by choosing strategies from past lessons.
