Math tutoring recommendations for math extension 1? (1 Viewer)

[Naren]

Hi does anyone know any tutoring that can help me remove my math Ext 1 mark? I really want to get into math Ext 2 but I am unassured of which tutoring to attend so please feel free to lend advice if you have time. I tried dr Du, but I felt it wasn't effective as I had to travel too long. I just need a tutoring center that can help me get into ext 2.

The best tutor is your maths textbook and past papers. If you get stuck consider asking for help here or on Discord. You can potentially look into private tutoring.

I think private tends to be more effective, lmk if you’re interested and I could maybe help. For your info, I’m a 2025 graduate who achieved a 99.75 ATAR and DUX, with a 95 in ext 2 and ext 1

I currently plan to use the cambridge and terry lee books. Is that all I need?

Private tutoring is fine but I find that they don't have as good resources and aren't as consistent.
Do you have good resources?

 

[Dhruvy Naggit]

Yeah, a lot of practise qns + internal exams

Part 1: Finding the Volume Formula
First, we need to look at the shape of the water inside the tank. The tank is a triangular prism, which means it looks like a long Toblerone bar.

1. Look at the front triangle: The water makes a triangle shape at the front of the tank. The problem says the tank is a right isosceles triangle. This is a special triangle where the bottom corner is a perfect square corner (90 degrees) and the two sides are equal.
2. Find the width of the water: Because of the shape of this triangle, the distance across the top of the water is always exactly twice the depth of the water. So, if the depth is "h", the width across the top is "2 times h".
3. Calculate the area of the water's face: To find the area of a triangle, we multiply half of the width by the height. Half of the width (which is h) multiplied by the height (h) gives us "h squared".
4. Find the total volume: To get the volume of the whole tank of water, we take that face area and multiply it by how long the tank is. The tank is 4 meters long. So, 4 times "h squared" gives us the final formula: Volume = 4h squared.

Part 2: Finding how fast the depth is dropping
Now we want to find out how quickly the water level is going down as it leaks out.

1. Identify the leak speed: The problem tells us the water is leaking out at a speed of 0.08 cubic meters every hour.
2. Use calculus to find the connection: We need to know how the volume changes compared to the depth. In math, we do this by looking at our volume formula (4h squared) and finding its "rate of change." For this specific formula, the rate of change is 8 times the depth (8h).
3. Use the Chain Rule: There is a rule in math that connects these three things: the leak speed, the depth change speed, and the rate of change we just found. It says: Leak Speed = (Rate of Change) times (Depth Speed).
4. Plug in the numbers: We are told to check this when the depth is 0.6 meters. So, our Rate of Change is 8 times 0.6, which equals 4.8.
5. Do the final division: Now we have: 0.08 = 4.8 times (Depth Speed). To find the Depth Speed, we divide 0.08 by 4.8.
6. The Result: When you divide 0.08 by 4.8, you get 0.0166... This means the water level is dropping at about 0.017 meters every hour.

hey, I'm a ruse graduate and I would love to try a trial lesson with you for math! I got 99 for ext1 and 97 for ext2 last year and I was top 10 in ruse in my junior years. I also have tons of materials for math so feel free to message me! (0415208988 or jessieyu06.7.12@gmail.com)

genuinely who the fuck gets into extension 2? ur entitled to do a government program. ur school is UNLAWFULLY prohibiting you from doing a subject of your choice. Extension 1 is fuck-useless for engineering without Extension 2.

Bro there's so many schools that do this. They even made a rule where you can't pick english advanced unless you get top 60. Well it is what it is. I just have to work hard enough in a way that I'm one of the 20 kids who make it to ext 2 ig . Maybe my schools just dogshit. I go parramatta btw.

Both tutoring and no tutoring will benefit you. The only benefit of tutoring is: 1. resources 2. teaching. But teaching is a learner preference, not a style (an individual's preferred way to absorb information), and that myth was busted in learning psychology years ago.

Basically, you need to create the internal motivation to constantly ask "why?" and scrutinise every piece of your understanding. This will rework the way you think conceptually about topics. The best way to learn math is to do.

Be completely fine with not understanding anything you learn. Be fine with doing questions and not knowing where to start. Just don't be ignorant and use AI to learn a sequence of steps and regurgitate the [method] because "oh that question looks similar to that other one".

For Ext 1, I remember I struggled with statistics at one point. I took the effort to 'overlearn' statistics, CLT (in next year's syllabus) and other stuff [such as doing unnecessary BOS proofs on stats]. All of this stuff is more effort, but it will genuinely boost your understanding of everything you learn.

And when you use AI. I personally use it only to generate the 'first hint' of the proof. Then I deduce what in my knowledge I lacked to even think of that first hint. The truth is, to build conceptual knowledge, you need procedural knowledge [knowledge of how to do]. Once that is created, you may find that conceptual knowledge will just naturally start to come.

Especially when you look through worked solutions yourself and constantly scrutinise "why'd they do this, why they do that", you will learn the content well. And to figure out these questions thats where you can also strategically use AI. Put the question in, explain your logic and why it doesn't work. Or why they do this step and why its allowed.

Don't try to cheat yourself is my best advice.

Do you have any math ext 1 resource you can send me? I personally just go to tutoring so I can ask doubts, but I see quite a few students cheating themselves by expecting it to work like a magic pill rather than seeing it as extra work to grow their potential. Hopefully I can prove myself to be resourceful in upcoming year.

Please share any math ext 1 resources you have.

Yeah, no worries. I had a big drive of questions for Ext 1 that I posted for free a long time ago. It's got basically everything, and every major variation of questions you need to understand. I'm not sure if you are accelerating or not, though, so this is mostly Year 12 content.

Maths Ext 1 Questions + Study Techniques

Hey Guys, I just wanted to share some resources (link below) that I compiled for the Maths Extension 1 course, it covers all topics and a wide range of questions from various schools with solutions. Some of its features include: Comprehensive Set of Questions [questions spanning from 2010-2025]...

boredofstudies.org

Also, if you go to tutoring with that purpose in mind thats a really good trait to have just as a student. Tutoring is really useful, I did Dr Du, and it helped. But I had got to a stage where I was just learning ahead of Dr Du even by the time trial revision came up. Pre-reading on topics and going to tutoring with existing knowledge and understanding is actually what makes tutoring useful. Otherwise, I agree it's totally useless if you just passively write notes and agree with the concepts thrown at you. So I wouldn't even say Dr Du did much for me, rather than just 'boost confidence'.

Another tip is to try to rewrite the answers the next day on questions you couldn't do [basically what I did with all questions in this One Note]. But like, don't think of it as [step 1, step 2 ....]. I think what was really interesting is that during all my exam trials for HSC, I basically just 'explained' everything like an essay [you won't have time for this] because I had built a habit. I built the habit where I was just writing answers to teach the marker. [I wish I had bought my HSC paper, but on some questions I was just explaining concepts in full essays]. It makes you extremely, extremely congnizant of the steps you're doing and basically humbles you when you start to just mindlessly write stuff. You will see there are a lot of 6 markers which I used 4 pages for, but I don't remember them as stepwise answers. Just as a story where my goal is to teach the marker.

My fucking retarded school ramped up difficulty in math exams and cause of that, 2 less people got band 6s in math advanced. fucking retarded teachers.

 

[cheesynooby]

my exams were too hard for me

hmm how does that affect the number of ppl getting b6s?
also WHY are you complaining on this thread it's not even relevant
