Year 6 student Yillen focused on applying Pythagoras' theorem to real-life problems and revising area and perimeter, especially for composite shapes.
In Year 9, Hannah worked through surface area and volume calculations for cubes as well as ratios, using practical examples to reinforce understanding.
Meanwhile, Year 8 student Grace practised rearranging formulas to make a variable the subject and substituted values into equations from her homework set, helping build fluency with algebraic manipulation.
A Year 9 student struggled to stay engaged, arriving 12 minutes late and needing "almost 80% of the answers" from the tutor just to participate; distraction—possibly due to phone use—meant little progress could be made in real time.
In a Year 11 Maths lesson, lack of organization led to lessons without a calculator or notes, making it hard to practice Pi calculations or revise for exams.
Meanwhile, a Year 6 student avoided writing out working in decimal tasks; as noted, "making sure she writes all her working out" remains an issue, leading to hidden errors and confusion when reviewing solutions later.
One Umina Beach tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student, who used to wait for help, now regularly asks clarifying questions during geometry problems and even requests extra practice on challenging topics.
A Year 11 student made real strides in financial maths—after struggling with the correct formula for commission, she picked it up quickly and finished her homework sheet with almost perfect accuracy.
In a primary session, a Year 5 student who once hesitated to explain his reasoning is now confidently walking through his fraction solutions out loud without prompting.
