Recent Surprise Tutoring Session Notes
We reviewed questions from chapter 7 review and discussed the mistakes that were made. I encouraged the student to K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Sweetie) when multiplying with fractions, a way to remind her to always simplify her answers. We then reviewed the comprehension readings that she had difficulty on during the week. We went over scanning for keywords and reading directions very carefully. The student expressed that she rushes through her work because those around her finish quicker and she doesn't want to seem like she doesn't know the information. We discussed ways for her to ignore what others are doing and the importance of taking her time to avoid simple mistakes.

Today's topics included linear and quadratic functions. Both brothers seemed pretty strong on linear functions, and the review was helpful. They had less experience with quadratic functions, so that was where we spent most of our time. The method of completing the square had been a subject of some concern, but things started to register when I showed them how to interpret the method graphically. We spent considerable time on it, since it is essential when graphing quadratic functions by hand. I emphasized that the point of graphing functions is to convey information about the graph; hence, it is imperative to label at least three points in order for the equation to be uniquely determined, and to locate the vertex for easy translation between graphical and equation form.
