Year 4 student Claudia worked on addition with hundreds using the split strategy and then moved on to subtraction involving tens, such as 165 minus 60.

Year 7 student Nina focused on multiplying and adding fractions, alongside revision of times tables for fluency.

For Year 8, Leonardo practiced multiplication with larger numbers like 345 × 23 and completed a creative writing task to assess his English skills.

A Year 9 student displayed strong verbal reasoning but struggled to organize ideas into clear written paragraphs, as a tutor noted, "he has great difficulty gathering ideas in written form despite being able to explain them aloud." This meant time was spent rewriting rather than refining arguments.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student repeatedly avoided checking answers in algebraic simplification tasks; unchecked steps led to missed sign errors and lost marks.

In upper primary, messy layout during fraction calculations made it hard for one student to track working and spot mistakes—her workbook became difficult to review when preparing for tests.

One Buttaba tutor noted that a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for help with algebra now regularly voices her questions when stuck, leading her to independently solve multi-step equations she struggled with last term.

In Year 7 maths, another student overcame confusion about calculating discounts by persistently revisiting the topic and, after extra practice, confidently explained her process back to the tutor—something she hadn't done before.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 3, once reliant on finger-counting for basic sums, recently completed all addition tasks mentally during the session without prompts or reminders.
