Year 8 student Liam focused on algebraic methods, specifically practicing the substitution and elimination techniques for solving simultaneous equations, and also worked through measurement questions.

Year 9 student Sophie reviewed logarithms in preparation for an upcoming test, with a focus on applying log laws to solve problems, and spent time revising equation rearrangement skills.

Meanwhile, Year 10A student Josh tackled factorisation of polynomials and practiced graphing linear equations from given formulas using sketches to reinforce understanding.

In Year 11 algebra, one student repeatedly avoided writing out working, saying "I can do this in my head," but missed sign changes and lost marks.

A Year 9 maths lesson revealed that messy handwriting and poor alignment made it difficult to check answers—misplaced numbers led to confusion, especially in multi-step calculations.

For a Year 4 learner, tiredness meant unfinished homework and reluctance to attempt questions with more information; she gave up quickly when feeling overwhelmed.

In senior geometry, another student skipped explaining reasoning behind answers, so partial credit was lost even when the logic was sound on rough paper.

A Bridgewater tutoring session saw a Year 10 student finally start checking his working for algebra questions after weeks of making the same small mistakes, leading to fewer errors on practice tests.

In Year 8 maths, one student has begun using her own strategies to pull key information from tricky word problems instead of waiting for hints, showing real independence compared to earlier lessons.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who used to rush through times tables is now pausing to double-check answers—last lesson, he even spotted and fixed two errors without any prompting.
