Year 5 student Zara focused on understanding time calculations with hours, minutes, and seconds.
In Year 9, Ethan tackled volumes of prisms—especially cylinders and triangular prisms—and applied Pythagoras' theorem to solve for unknown sides.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucy worked through differentiation by first principles to find derivatives from scratch.
In Year 10, one student's past paper attempts revealed a process snag: "she checked answers before finishing the whole exam," leading to less realistic test practice and gaps in timed reasoning.
A Year 11 student avoided consulting formulas at the start of quadratic exercises, instead guessing—so errors snowballed until prompted to reference the provided formula sheet.
In a recent Year 7 session, another student hesitated to write out steps when multiplying with negatives, saying it felt slower; this made sign errors harder to spot later.
During Year 12 polynomial long division homework, incomplete working left some questions unfinished and feedback unaddressed.
A tutor in Manly Vale noticed some strong shifts lately. One Year 11 student, Fenna, worked through every HSC past paper from 1997 to 2015 and began correcting her own mistakes without prompting—something she used to need a lot of help with.
Filios, also in high school, has started incorporating textbook worked examples into his study habits for the first time, which helped him tackle tricky calculus and trigonometry problems mostly on his own.
Meanwhile, Jasmine in Year 6 managed to solve several advanced "olympiad" math questions independently after previously hesitating to attempt them without guidance.
