Year 5 student Jason practised times tables (6, 7, 8, 9) and worked through challenging perimeter and area problems for irregular shapes.

Year 8 student Luka focused on simplifying linear and polynomial equations as well as revising exponent rules with targeted practice questions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ella reviewed key algebra concepts using test-style questions and tackled problems involving decimals, percentages, and fractions to prepare for an upcoming assessment.

In Year 5 long division, one student left steps incomplete when the remainder was zero—"be sure to complete all four steps for each digit," as noted, so teachers can follow the process.

A Year 11 student preparing for a test on annuities and inequalities relied mainly on last-minute revision, missing chances to check understanding earlier; extra practice with feedback could have built confidence.

In senior maths, another learner avoided revisiting unit circle basics, slowing progress toward advanced problems.

When handwriting essays in Year 7 English, structure sometimes slipped under time pressure, making points harder to follow and losing clarity for markers.

One Lavington tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who, after struggling with algebra misunderstandings, started actively asking about mistakes and clarifying concepts instead of quietly guessing—something he rarely did before.

In another session, a senior student working on data analysis mastered using the CAS calculator to form scatterplots and fit trendlines independently, which had previously required step-by-step prompting.

Meanwhile, Maya in Year 3 has begun telling her tutor whenever unsure about something in maths; this is new for her, as she used to stay silent when stuck.
