Shaky algebra
Expanding, factorising and rearranging need to be automatic before VCE. We practise them in every lesson.

How we teach it
How we teach Year 10 Maths
Year 10 is where maths becomes the foundation for VCE. Students who finish it fluent in algebra, quadratics and functions can choose Mathematical Methods with confidence. Students with gaps often find their options narrowed before Year 11 begins.
Classes run weekly for two hours, with up to eight students. We start with a short pre-assessment so the tutor knows where each student is, then work through our own lesson booklet in step with the school year. The tutor explains, models examples and checks each student’s working during the lesson. Homework booklets are marked, and students can book free one-on-one help desks.
In Term 4 we preview Year 11 Methods topics — functions and relations, and the gallery of graphs — so students start VCE already familiar with the language.
