Year 4 student Bella focused on long division and place value to strengthen her calculation skills, and also worked through 2, 5, and 10 times tables using pattern-based activities.

Year 9 student Sarah tackled trigonometry problems involving finding unknown sides and angles in triangles, along with practice questions on algebraic factorisation.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Liam concentrated on quadratic factorisation using the quadratic formula and expanded his understanding of simultaneous equations through step-by-step problem solving.

In Year 4, one student repeatedly relied on counting with fingers for multiplication and addition, which slowed progress and led to hesitation when larger numbers appeared.

"She needs to work on showing her working out," a tutor noted after several lessons where written steps were skipped in division tasks.

By Year 9, another student often froze at the start of assignments or tests, unable to recall processes until questions were rephrased—a mental blank that delayed getting started.

In senior maths, forgetting to label triangles correctly meant trigonometry errors lingered until mistakes were explicitly pointed out, eroding confidence mid-task.

One Willunga South tutor noticed a big shift in Lara, a high school student who used to hesitate when she got stuck—now she actively asks for help and can explain exactly where she struggles, especially with topics like graphing parabolas and index laws.

Another high schooler, Sasha, recently managed to complete all her factorisation questions without any errors after initially needing frequent support; she now identifies mistakes independently and fixes them right away.

In Year 4, Nicole has moved from scoring 0% on rounding in her pre-assessment to achieving 75% on her latest test and is tackling new homework strategies with far less prompting than before.
