Year 8 student Luka worked through simplifying linear and polynomial equations and practiced exponent rules, using textbook problems to reinforce understanding.

Year 9 student Ella focused on preparing for an upcoming maths test by reviewing algebraic concepts, including decimals, percentages, and fractions through both homework tasks and online practice.

For primary, Year 5 student Maya revised perimeter and area of irregular shapes (squares and rectangles) and spent time improving recall of the 6, 7, 8, and 9 times tables.

In Year 4 maths, one student forgot to do the multiplication and subtraction steps before dropping down the next number during long division, which meant their working was incomplete and harder for teachers to follow.

In Year 12 General Maths, Sienna was advised to "revise principles and applications of significant figures and square roots," but limited revision mostly to familiar examples, so struggled when new question types appeared.

A Year 10 student occasionally seemed disengaged in class; as a tutor observed, "I have to ensure Darcy is well engaged so he understands concepts," or important feedback might be missed mid-lesson.

One West Wodonga tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to quietly muddle through algebra mistakes now openly asks about where he went wrong and works with the tutor to understand corrections—a big shift from earlier sessions.

In another case, a senior student tackled break-even analysis and cost functions: by the end of the session, she could confidently use matrix recursion relations to solve complex problems that had previously seemed overwhelming.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, Maya was eager enough about learning her timetables that she did extra practice in her Naplan book at home without being prompted.
