Year 7 student Maya worked on finding areas of special quadrilaterals and practiced converting between different measurement units.

For Year 9, Jake focused on solving trigonometry problems involving side ratios and angle identification, as well as applying Pythagoras' Theorem using diagrams for clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Liam tackled compound interest calculations and revised interpreting cumulative frequency polygons in statistics.

A Year 9 student's tendency to skip writing working in algebra led to sign errors and confusion, as one tutor noted: "he forgot the negative sign in scientific notation, which changed the answer."

In Year 11 trigonometry, incomplete homework limited fluency with bearings and exact values—she struggled to recall which formula applied mid-question.

For a Year 7 measurement task, forgetting to write units caused marks to be lost despite correct calculations.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student hesitated to attempt harder word problems without diagrams drawn from scratch, slowing problem-solving and undermining confidence when unfamiliar layouts appeared on tests.

One Ingleside tutor noted Alice's shift in high school maths: she now talks through tricky trigonometry questions out loud and chooses the correct ratio on her own, a change from earlier sessions when she'd freeze at unfamiliar problems.

In Year 8, Genevieve recently began using multiple methods to solve algebraic equations—whereas before, she would stick rigidly to one approach even if it wasn't working.

Meanwhile, Ray (Year 8) used to get stuck on unit conversions during tests but, after targeted revision, completed nearly an entire practice test independently and only needed minor reminders for two questions.
