Split practice by calculator vs non-calculator
NAPLAN numeracy mixes mental maths with calculator items. Practise each type separately so your child knows when speed vs precision matters.
Review Year 7–8 topics first
Many Year 9 items revisit fractions, ratios, and basic algebra. A short refresher prevents careless errors on 'easy' marks.
