Year 6 student Stefan focused on ordering decimals from largest to smallest and explored decimal place value using hands-on number line activities.
In Year 9, Alice tackled Pythagoras' theorem in right-angled triangles and practiced simplifying algebraic expressions involving indices, reinforcing concepts with worked examples.
For Year 12, Chatwell discussed plans for her final year and received support on General Mathematics content, including a few targeted questions and guidance on upcoming Business Management materials.
Several secondary students showed difficulty organizing their written work in mathematics, particularly with algebra and calculus.
For example, one Year 11 student omitted intermediate steps when simplifying fractions, leading to arithmetic errors—"as a tutor noted, he didn't separate the numerator's terms before dividing by h."
In VCE exam practice, another student's performance dropped under time pressure; missing final answers or not boxing them made solutions unclear to assessors.
Meanwhile, a Year 9 student frequently confused (x,y) for (y,x) in coordinate geometry tasks, causing repeated mix-ups during reflections. These habits resulted in avoidable mistakes and extra time spent clarifying working.
One Hillside tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate asking for help now clearly identifies when she's stuck and actively seeks guidance, especially with paragraph structure in English.
In Year 12 maths, another student began tackling calculus problems independently—last week, he solved a tricky differentiation question on his own after only needing a reminder about the product rule.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student has started correcting her own mistakes during multiplication exercises without prompting, showing much more persistence than before.
