Year 5 student Ava worked on converting fractions to decimals and multiplying fractions, as well as simplifying answers.

In Year 8, Jack practiced plotting graphs for linear and non-linear equations and was introduced to calculating mean and median using real data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily focused on solving trigonometry problems involving right-angled triangles and revised applications of scientific notation in measurement calculations.

A Year 8 student struggled to set out solutions for equations involving brackets—steps were missed or jumbled, making it hard to spot sign errors (he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors).

In Year 10, a student's revision focused only on familiar graph types; when faced with tricky parabolic graphs in class, uncertainty slowed progress and feedback wasn't acted upon.

Meanwhile, a senior physics student preparing for centripetal force calculations relied heavily on notes rather than working independently.

For one Year 6 learner, confusion about time conversions led to hesitation during word problems and lost marks in tests.

A tutor in Wallarah noticed one Year 11 student who'd struggled with simultaneous equations finally mastered the substitution method and could explain where he used to get stuck.

Another high schooler began solving tricky surds within algebra problems independently, having previously avoided them in class discussions. Began solving tricky surds independently.

For a younger student, their approach to word problems changed—they now work through multi-step addition questions out loud instead of guessing quietly, showing more persistence than before.

The session finished with this student reading each problem aloud and double-checking their own answers without prompting.
