Year 10 student Gavin focused on graphing logarithmic and exponential functions, exploring how transformations impact their graphs, and began learning anti-differentiation techniques.

Year 11 student Alexander revised kinematics for physics, covering constant acceleration problems and energy transfer during collisions using exam-style practice.

Meanwhile, Year 9 Mehar worked on converting between fractions and decimals using place value understanding and reviewed strategies for simplifying both proper and improper fractions in preparation for her school assessments.

In Year 11 Maths Methods, one student relied on teacher notes but avoided making their own summary sheets—"he expected detailed notes but then didn't review them," which left him confused about formulas for area and perimeter.

Another senior student did not complete set homework or bring materials, as seen when a missed assignment on probability caused gaps in understanding.

In Year 10, a student struggled to adapt to more complex problems without first shifting into a "math mindset." This led to repeated errors with algebraic ratios and careless sign slips during equation solving.

One Buln Buln East tutor noted that a Year 11 student, Gavin, has shifted from needing guidance to independently solving quadratic inequalities using the discriminant and confidently expanding polynomials. Last session he tackled factor theorem problems with little prompting.

In a recent Year 7 lesson, Omita showed real growth by explaining his reasoning out loud for tricky area questions; previously he would stay silent or guess, but now justifies his answers step by step.

Meanwhile, Alex (Year 12) recalled when to apply key equations in physics scenarios without help and identified all forms of energy transformation in sample exam problems.
