Often the student has already mastered most of the topics before they reach high school and online platforms like Maths Pathways and Maths Online can be configured so that if a student answers both answers correctly for a topic concept (eg. factorisation of a quadratic equation), the program...

The most important thing is to do maths stage 5.3 in Yrs 9 & 10 (more advanced than 5.1 & 5.2) in order to build a solid foundation if you are aiming to do extension maths in Yrs 11 & 12.

Don’t be sad. You have integrity and it will stand you in good stead. Yr 10 science marks don’t have any impact on the HSC (at some schools, maths marks might impact who gets to do extension maths, but I’ve never heard of stage 5 science marks determining what science subjects students can...

I’m not a maths expert, but nobody else has responded, so this is how I would approach this question: As a maths extn 2 question, I gather that ‘z’ is a complex number of the form x + iy |z - 1/z| = 2 z - 1/z = 2 or z - 1/z = -2 which produces two quadratic equations: z^2 - 2z - 1 = 0...

For students who prefer a mentor support type of tutoring (ie. help with homework, support with working at individual pace), 1 on 1 online maths tutoring for Yrs 7-10 students at $25 per hour, by uni student commencing maths teaching degree. Please contact jessplew8907@gmail.com to arrange a...

My son is a R & D Engineering Honours uni student and tutors (1 on 1) maths extn 1 & 2 (ie. 4U) and physics. If you are working through school recommended textbooks, he can help with any areas of difficulty. Zoom sessions are flexible and there’s no charge for cancelled lessons if students give...

There’s definitely more college spirit in the traditional college. Today is the start of ‘In Bound’ the biggest intercollege event and the traditional colleges of Bruce, Burton & Garran, Johns, Ursula & Fenner all have full teams in all seven divisions (Burgmann has six teams), whereas the newer...

I hope you have already gotten help from a tutor at Uni. They seemed to have deliberately picked challenging options. The walls of the blood vessel circled blue seem too thick to be a vein and yet it doesn’t quite look like an artery. The blood vessel circled yellow does have the thin walled...

I can ask DS about Yukeembruk, but from our general chats, there seems to be more social activities and networking at the traditional colleges of ANU - Bruce (new buildings, but established alumni, including NeMeSiS ex students), Burton & Garran, Burgmann, John XXIII, Ursula and Wright.

Yes, Ursies is the cheapest catered hall, fairly small, friendly and currently punching above their weight in the interhall comps.😁 My son originally applied for Wright as it is the only one with the option of catered or self catered but he really enjoyed being at Ursies last year and returned...

I recommend Pearson as well. My youngest was using other textbooks recommended by her teachers, but when my son came home between university semesters, we realised he is tutoring from Pearson and his sister liked it so much, she got Pearson for both physics and biology.

I suspect many people in the education depts confuse equity (which the media and public demand) with equal outcomes. It would take a lot more resources to improve the performance of the bottom students, who often are in the lowest socioeconomic quartile, so they simply drop benchmarks and that...

Physics isn’t taught well at high schools. My son’s physics teacher readily admitted he didn’t understand the equations my son used in his physics assignment beyond the high school sheet, which DS used to account for friction in the real world vs frictionless reality, so gave him 100%. Probably...

In between the prices of the generation 10 and Pro is the iPad Air. I bought my youngest an Air at the beginning of last year for Yr 11, with the full Microsoft suite. It is also fine with Geogebra software which her school uses for maths extension 1 & 2. I’m sorry if it’s still out of your...

Is the Yr 7 student at JRAHS? Curious why you’re specifically requesting an ex James Ruse graduate. In the pre-digital era, I actually received the JRAHS maths master’s medal and was his ‘trailblazer’ for Olympiads etc, but my son, who chose to attend our local public school, is a far better...

My eldest was 16 when she finished her HSC and because she wanted to do medicine, I encouraged her to take a gap year to make sure it was what she really wanted. She volunteered at a nursing home and loved helping the elderly residents and she was well loved by them and their families, which...

There are plenty of explanations on the internet, so unsure what you are seeking specifically. https://www.chemistrylearner.com/mclafferty-rearrangement.html Essentially, it was a phenomenon discovered specifically with mass spectrometry, a method used to identify molecules by their overall...

DNA is amplified before the sequencing step. Thirty cycles produce about a billion DNA templates, so for example, if the ddNTP:dNTP ratio is 1:1000, then a million fragments would be the ballpark number for each terminating ddNTP representing any particular position, so the probability that a...

Glad to hear you got into the extension maths class.

HI Yunhong, I messaged you privately a couple of weeks ago. Just checking that you got that message. Best wishes, EM
