Year 5 student Thomas focused on multiplication and division strategies, working through problems to build speed and accuracy.

In Year 10, Olivia explored bivariate data by interpreting scatter plots and using calculators to find correlation coefficients.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Liam tackled trigonometry, solving problems involving angles of elevation and depression with the help of drawn diagrams.

In Year 11 Mathematics, skipping written steps in financial and network problems led to confusion when justifying answers—one tutor noted, "Setting out working. New line for different calculation."

For a Year 8 student, over-reliance on calculators meant formulas weren't memorised, making it hard to tackle algebra or rearrange equations without prompts.

In Year 4, frustration with basic multiplication caused one child to guess instead of reasoning through; she often forgot previously learned facts and avoided reading questions aloud as requested.

Meanwhile, a senior student tackling HSC revision left textbook homework incomplete, missing chances for feedback before assessments.

A tutor in Marshall Mount noticed that Joel, a Year 10 student, previously struggled to decide which trigonometric ratio to use but can now select the right formula independently. In another session, Chelsea (Year 11) used to need step-by-step guidance with index laws but was able this week to apply them confidently without prompting across multiplication, division, and brackets.

For Ariana in Year 3, maths used to feel daunting, especially when starting division; however, she now initiates practice herself and has begun solving division questions on her own during lessons.
