Year 5 student Emily worked on overtime pay and penalty rates, as well as practicing order of operations using visualisation techniques.

Year 9 student Alex reviewed simultaneous equations and compound interest, including strategies for solving multi-step problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jordan focused on PSMT assessment preparation by analyzing bivariate data and applying least squares regression lines with the help of technology tools.

In Year 10 mathematics, missing or incomplete note-taking has become a recurring issue—on several occasions, no notes were written in class and "I had to check that she was recording these." This makes it harder for her to review concepts like algebraic operations or trigonometry between sessions.

In Year 12, test reflection was sometimes avoided; after one assessment, she needed prompting to "take time to reflect on the test," which meant gaps went unaddressed until explicitly discussed.

In both junior and senior years, leaving notebooks behind or not completing homework slowed skill consolidation and made revision less effective before exams.

One Sadliers Crossing tutor noticed a real shift with a Year 11 student who, after previously losing almost all marks on a mock test due to confusion between mathematical operations, now actively checks her work and asks clarifying questions rather than guessing.

Another high school student recently managed to explain how exponential equations relate to real-life situations like population growth—something she'd found abstract before—which shows she's starting to connect concepts across topics.

Meanwhile, in a younger year group, a student who used to avoid tricky division problems is now attempting them independently and even volunteered to solve one aloud during the session.
