Year 8 is when algebra starts to bite. MathPert helps students get the method right before the questions get harder. Useful when class work looks fine but independent work breaks down at the first unfamiliar question.
Year 8 students are good at nodding along. In a class of eight, that does not work. Teacher Au will ask the student to explain the step. That is usually where the gap shows up.
Classes run on Zoom. Google Classroom holds materials, worksheets, and class links. Homework is set regularly and reviewed the following week so the student gets feedback while the topic is still fresh.

Small groups make quiet students more visible. Teacher Au expects students to participate and explain their working.
