Year 10 student Gavin worked on graphing exponential and logarithmic functions, focusing on how transformations shift their graphs, and practiced anti-differentiation techniques for introductory calculus problems.

Year 11 student Alexander reviewed kinematics—especially motion under constant acceleration—and solved force questions involving inclined planes and pulleys as part of his physics exam preparation.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Mehar concentrated on converting between fractions and decimals using place value understanding, while also practicing addition and subtraction of fractions with number line representations.

In Year 10, one student's tendency to skip writing steps when solving algebra led to confusion with signs—"she lost track of negatives and positives mid-way," a tutor noted.

In Year 11 Maths Methods, over-reliance on the CAS calculator meant less confidence when asked to linearise data without it, resulting in hesitation during practice exams.

For a Year 7 learner, incomplete homework and messy notetaking made it hard to connect new topics like fractions and decimals, causing uncertainty during class quizzes.

These process habits created stumbling blocks at key moments: tests felt harder, feedback couldn't be acted on quickly, and progress slowed.

A Bravington tutor recently saw Tyler, a Year 10 student, move from confusion to confidence with trig ratios—she can now label triangle sides and set up equations independently after previously needing step-by-step guidance.

In senior maths, Gavin shifted from struggling with quadratic inequalities to confidently using the discriminant to determine solution counts and even handled polynomial expansions without prompts.

Meanwhile, Omita in primary years began justifying his answers aloud when challenged, a big shift from staying quiet if unsure; he explained his thinking clearly while working through tricky area problems and asked for more examples at the end of the session.
