Recent Layton Tutoring Session Notes
Tonight we covered more problem styles involving solving inequalities for different rational expressions, beginning to include both word problems and problems that involved first solving to convert the equation into a rational expression. The student was able to adapt his previous problem solving strategies once he had converted the new problem type into one of the old problem types and we finished well within our time window.

The student is an extremely outgoing easy to talk to 6th grader. Today was our first meeting and we looked at things she had for homework. We started with writing. She had to complete her personal narrative. She worked on how she should end it. Next we moved on to geography. She had to complete a vocabulary paper where she had to look up the words in the book and write the definition. After she did this we moved on to math. She had some trouble with a few problems on a review sheet so we went over those concepts and made sure she understood the rest of the paper for her test. Her mom said we can work on whatever it is that she has for studying each week. We will continue to do this!

The student and I reviewed all of his geometry coursework from the last few months of his class. Specifically, we reviewed how to find the area and perimeter of any regular polygon and several irregular polygons. We also reviewed Algebra concepts that are starting to be inserted into his classes. He was polite, engaged, and very focused - he learned a lot, and I enjoyed the session.

We continued working on graphing functions using the first and second derivatives to predict behavior. The student is still struggling with the concept of using the derivative graph to determine function behavior, so I tried to simplify everything as much as possible. We will continue to work on this next session.

The student had practice state assessment testing yesterday and today, so his class has yet to begin Chapter 2 Percents. I introduced, practiced and reinforced the first two sections of the chapter: definition of percent, working with percents from charts and finding the percent of a number (fraction and decimal methods). He was well engaged and picked up the concepts quickly!

The student and I went over a review sheet to figure potential and kinetic energy and work problems. We worked over a series of word problems that involved converting potential energy like gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, or the energy of a spring or velocity calculations of and object which converted potential energy to kinetic energy.
