Year 8 student Laaibah worked on understanding networks by identifying paths, trails, and circuits using real examples and short questions.

For Year 10, Adeel focused on graphing quadratic and exponential functions, as well as applying simple interest formulas to financial maths problems.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Chloe practised HSC-style questions covering shares, market price calculations, and dividend yield, reinforcing concepts from past exam papers.

In Year 11 mathematics, a student often skipped writing out steps for multi-mark finance and networks problems; as one tutor noted, "working was not set out clearly, which made it hard to find errors."

In a senior class, another student relied heavily on their calculator for statistics without first recording the equations or known values, leading to confusion when reviewing answers.

Meanwhile, in Year 5, forgetting times tables and divisibility rules slowed down problem-solving during fractions tasks. These habits meant extra time was spent retracing steps instead of confidently moving forward with new material.

A tutor in Yellow Rock noticed that a Year 10 student who used to skip showing their working has started writing out every step for ratio and rate problems, making fewer small mistakes as a result.

In a recent high school session, Joel tackled his practice maths papers almost entirely on his own—something he hadn't managed before—only asking for help when truly stuck.

Meanwhile, Ariana in Year 3 now volunteers multiplication tricks she's learned, confidently solving larger problems aloud without waiting for prompts.

Last week, Joel finished an entire trigonometry worksheet independently and double-checked his answers before handing it over.
