Year 3 student Tyler worked on adding and subtracting decimals as well as rounding numbers up and down, using his Year 7 Maths booklet for targeted revision.

For Year 9, much of the syllabus was reviewed with a focus on strengthening algebra skills through repeated practice and examples.

At the senior level, a Year 12 student completed an HSC exam review by analysing past questions to clarify concepts and address common errors.

A Year 11 student froze up when overwhelmed in algebra and exam settings, leading to second-guessing and incomplete answers—confidence dips made even familiar content feel inaccessible under pressure.

In Year 7 maths, a workbook was "a little more organised and tidy," which sometimes made following working difficult for markers and the student alike.

Several students in Years 5–9 left homework incomplete or avoided practicing unfamiliar problems (e.g., converting fractions or using new algorithms), sticking only to easier material. This often meant extra lesson time had to be spent reviewing basics instead of building on progress.

One Ferodale tutor noted a big change in a Year 10 student who used to avoid rates and ratios questions—now she tackles these independently, having moved from frequent mistakes to solving even tricky problems without help.

In a recent Year 7 session, Tyler completed an entire algebra worksheet (previously a struggle area) and has started showing his working rather than relying on the calculator for every step.

Meanwhile, a younger student made a leap with telling time: after several weeks needing prompts, she completed a whole worksheet solo and confidently read both analogue and digital times aloud.
