Recent Essex County Tutoring Session Notes
Worked on finite math today. The student seems to have gotten much better at converting English into algebra terms, which is vital for this section. She originally had problems in the shading for inequality graphs, but has improved dramatically after using the trick (plug in zero, if the resulting statement is correct, then shade towards the zero and shade the other side otherwise).
Keep up the great work!
