Year 5 student Alex practised adding and subtracting fractions as well as tackling word problems involving fractions of a quantity.

For Year 8, Emily focused on working with the Cartesian plane by plotting points and also solved problems involving percentages of amounts.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Jacob reviewed linear equations, including solving for unknowns and understanding gradient and intercepts using graphing techniques.

In Year 7, one student lost marks on a negative numbers task by not reading questions carefully—"marks were deducted for not reading the question carefully and careless mistakes with negative numbers."

For a Year 10 trigonometry session, confusion arose when problems were attempted without showing working, leading to missed steps.

Another instance in Year 4 saw minor errors in homework due to misreading instructions, resulting in correct methods but wrong answers.

During algebra practice in Year 8, over-reliance on mental calculations led to skipped checks and small sign errors that compounded across multi-step questions.

A tutor in Rythdale recently noticed Gemma tackling questions she used to get stuck on, especially with negative numbers and fractions—she now pauses to check her work instead of rushing through.

In a Year 10 session, one student who previously avoided algebraic notation began working independently through equations on both sides, asking for clarification only after giving each question a solid attempt.

Meanwhile, Sophie in Year 5 not only grasped the steps for converting decimals to fractions but confidently explained her reasoning out loud—a big shift from when she'd just write answers without sharing her thinking.
