Recent Texas Tutoring Session Notes
It was a great session. We reviewed letter sounds, rhyming words, missing letters, and a reading comprehension story. The student was fully engaged and participating in each activity. It was a great session. I enjoyed it so much.

Today, the student and I studied differences of squares, differences of cubes, sums of cubes, and multiplicity. We factored differences of squares, and used the appropriate formulas to factor differences and sums of cubes. We found the roots of functions to determine their multiplicities. I was pleased to learn that her test score improved in algebra II. Additionally, she says the concepts are easy for her. Her attitude towards the subject is a lot more positive, and she participates more during our discussions.

Today, the student and I went over his test review by challenging him with harder problems. By exposing him to harder problems, I hope to lessen the frustration he might encounter during his test. I reminded him that he is his own best weapon for helping with his confidence. If he makes sure he has a solid reason for each congruency statement and equation, then he should be confident that his answer is correct. We practiced providing reasons, like he has done in the past with proofs, during our session tonight. Best of luck on his test.

During today's session, the student and I worked on problems with variables. He is doing well with this type of problem as we have practiced them before. We worked on this concept quite a bit over the summer. For the next session, we will continue to work with variables.

The student mentioned that his class has been working on equations of lines (slope-intercept form in particular), so I gave him examples of problems in which one must determine an equation of the line given in a graph with two points defined by their coordinates. We discussed how one can find the slope from the graph and from the coordinates, how to find use the y-intercept and another point to find the slope, how to find an equation of the line passing through the x-intercept and y-intercept, and a line passing through two points neither of which is an intercept. We also went over the process of converting an equation from point-slope form to standard form.

Today we looked a little at what she had been doing in class so far. I had her take a review and basic skills test that covered much of last years material. We went through the answers together after she completed the test. She has a great attitude and is very sweet and mature. I introduced her to some simpler ways of doing mental math and using common sense to understand and solve problems. Next week we will work slightly ahead of the unit she is on at school at the moment. This will allow her to fully comprehend everything in class. She has a great algebra book and also online resources that we will utilize. I know she will be very successful.
