Year 8 student Cale worked on simplifying and expanding algebraic expressions, along with reviewing index laws using example problems and notes.

A Year 9 student focused on graphing linear equations and interpreting scatter plots to understand bivariate data relationships.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student spent time on consumer arithmetic—specifically percentages and basic financial calculations—and also practised Pythagoras' theorem through class-style exercises and visual aids.

A Year 10 student lost a maths assignment due to not backing up files, which had a major impact on his grade; "we will need to change the way he saves documents."

In senior maths, another student's revision was hindered by incomplete note-taking—her tutor noted that "when there is no math in a class, that should be summarized for that day."

For Year 8 algebra, one student repeatedly forgot formulas and did not write them down, leading to mistakes during practice.

Tiredness and lack of focus also meant answers were written slowly or key steps skipped, especially after long school days.

A Brassall tutor recently saw a high school student who used to avoid worded maths problems now working through them with less hesitation, even tackling half of her homework set in this area after previously struggling.

Another older student surprised her tutor by beginning research for an assessment before the session—showing initiative she hadn't demonstrated earlier in the term—and continued editing her own draft independently.

In a Year 4 session, a student who was initially unsure about adding decimals quickly picked up the method and started solving similar questions without help.
