Year 7 student Greta focused on negative numbers, including multiplication and division, and worked through algebra problems involving powers of small integers using step-by-step examples.

Year 10 student Aiden practiced solving linear simultaneous equations by substitution and revisited simplifying and rationalising surds from a previous test paper.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Zara covered trigonometry concepts such as SOH CAH TOA, sine rule, and cosine rule, tackling practice questions with calculator use for accuracy.

In Year 11 Specialist Maths, a student's notes revealed persistent confusion with induction proofs and negated statements; as one tutor noted, "there is a serious level of misunderstanding of how induction and negated statements work." This led to repeated errors during problem sets.

In Year 8 Maths, reliance on visual aids for fractions persisted even as problems became more complex, making it harder to solve tasks like drawing sixths or managing equivalent fractions without diagrams.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 English, reluctance to show written working made it difficult for teachers to pinpoint the exact cause of errors—sometimes whole steps were missing from answers.

One Delacombe tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student who, after previously making frequent errors with exponent laws, now works through non-standard equations with far more independence and accuracy.

A recent high school session saw another student confidently solve complex probability problems using tables and arrangements—something they struggled to set up without guidance just weeks ago.

Meanwhile, in Year 4, a student who used to guess when asked about fractions now carefully groups and counts items to find answers, moving from impulsive guessing to methodical problem-solving.
