Today we worked through more problems from a review for her final she has next week. The material covered: graphing inequalities, solving inequalities algebraically, problems with varying inversely, directly, and jointly, finding the discriminants of functions, finding the domain, range, maximums and minimums of functions, and determining increasing and decreasing intervals of functions. The student seems to still be understanding the material and I think should do well on her final. Some good news, on her last test she made a 92!
Talked about Molarity/concentrations and how to approach these problems. Went over and did his work involving these and focused on going through the setup. Created note cards on definitions and equations he would need for this section, then did practice problems involving Molarity.
The student and I studied for her test tomorrow. We mostly practiced long division and synthetic division. The student is going to practice inequalities a bit more at home tonight. I think she is very prepared and should do really well!
The student and I started off another lesson with a math review. This time, I was trying to test whether she had been absorbing our review on percents, which she's had a lot of trouble with. She still demonstrated some difficulties, but I think we had a breakthrough, when I tried another method: equations. This also segues quite well into the next thing I wanted to review with her: forming equations. We also reviewed her vocabulary words. We took some time and studied them together. At the end of the session, we went over her previously-done reading comprehension homework, and I assigned her a bit more reading for Thursday.
We covered solving word problems with multiple variables and worked with fractions, division, and adding and subtracting variables and equations. We also worked on area, perimeters, and creating equations from geometric situations. We covered a lot of material today; The student was attentive and picked up a lot of new information.
