Year 4 student Jai worked on skip counting by 3s and 6s using real-world activities like walking on brick pavers, as well as representing fractions through sharing scenarios with chalk drawings.

Year 8 student Alyssa focused on comparing and simplifying fractions and converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, plus interpreting worded questions in her online Maths Pathways modules.

Meanwhile, Elysia, studying at TAFE level (senior secondary), practised long division strategies—such as backchecking—and applied division skills to convert fractions to decimals, also tackling BODMAS problems with step-by-step written processes.

A gap between lessons left a Year 11 TAFE student, as one tutor observed, "forgetting parts of the process of converting fractions to decimals," which then required an entire lesson just to review before moving on.

In Year 8 Maths, Alyssa initially hesitated to show all her working out for worded questions; by not writing each step, she sometimes lost track of what information was relevant and missed small errors until backchecking.

Meanwhile, in upper primary, Treasure tended to guess answers quickly or give up when challenged by new concepts like Perimeter, making it difficult for her to build confidence through accurate self-checking.

One Kangaroo Flat tutor noticed a Year 11 student, Elysia, who used to get stuck and anxious with BODMAS problems, now confidently talks herself through each step aloud and highlights the next operation, making her process much clearer and less overwhelming.

Another high schooler, Alyssa, has shifted from rushing mental calculations to carefully writing out multi-step fraction comparisons; this note-taking strategy has improved her accuracy on tricky tests.

Meanwhile, Tegan in Year 5 has started taking real ownership of her learning—she now asks for homework unprompted and even completed double the assigned punctuation practice before independently identifying full stops in her writing.
