Recent Lincoln Park Tutoring Session Notes
We reviewed her fraction work from class. Then we reviewed a word problem. Then we reviewed math facts. She tends to forget multiplication facts from the higher numbers. I will review them with her next time and look at her class work to where math is headed.

The student and I met for a final review session before he retakes the test on Friday. He scored a 159 on both sections and a 4.5 on the essays. We spent the session first reviewing two practice test sections and then going over general math problems (specifically, proportion, ratio, rate, and algebraic quantitative comparison). Speed was his greatest problem on the last test, so I recommended doing some more practice problems tonight to make sure he's in good shape for tomorrow. It was a pleasure working with him today!

The student had a problem set on constant velocity motion. We worked on careful units conversion, speed of sound in air, speed of light in vacuum, and d=vt problems. We worked on careful substitution with units, and careful algebra (with units) and final answer (with units). He was attentive and solved the problems well. I only had to remind him that the sound went across the canyon and back on that problem, otherwise he made no mistakes.

Today, the student and I worked on converting percents to fractions and decimals. She had a bit of trouble converting 4%, 6%, 8%, etc. to a decimal, as she would forget to put a zero in front of the 4, 6, 8, and so on. We'll keep working on this. We did a lot of word problems tonight that involved money, both on her homework and some extra problems that I had.

I worked on Stats homework with the student (which he was completely able to do himself, and didn't need any help from me), and then reviewed his past SAT Writing portion. We then went over ways he could improve his score for his upcoming SAT test this weekend.

We looked at a couple of outside sources for the student's essay, including a recent newspaper article and the transcript of a Ted Talk. We discussed ways this material might expand or complicate her argument.
