Year 6 student Greta worked on algebra basics including solving simple linear equations for x and using reverse BODMAS, along with revising negative numbers and reading comprehension through discussion of symbolism in The Graveyard Book.

Year 9 student Maya focused on trigonometry by labelling sides in right-angled triangles, writing sine, cosine, and tangent ratios, and rearranging equations to solve for unknowns using a calculator.

For Year 11, Sam practiced simplifying exponents and solving algebraic equations from previous test material to build confidence with indices and equation manipulation.

In Year 4 maths, a student relied heavily on drawing shapes for fraction problems; as a tutor noted, "visual representations helped now but became less reliable with complex denominators."

In Year 9, forgetting to double-check working during algebra led to sign errors and dented confidence.

A Year 11 student struggled to apply the cosine rule correctly because the required angle's position wasn't identified—misunderstanding when rules could be used.

For VCE Maths Methods, incomplete or unclear written steps in rationalising surds meant time was lost fixing arithmetic slips rather than learning new concepts.

A tutor in Eureka noticed one Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for help with algebra now speaks up as soon as she's stuck, leading to her solving multi-step equations more independently.

Another high schooler made a breakthrough using BODMAS "shells" to organise complex order-of-operations problems—he finished the session feeling calm about all test topics, a big change from earlier stress.

In primary, a student who used to avoid reading aloud volunteered to read a poem expressively after enjoying character voices together, then chose to tackle the next maths word problem on her own.
