"We went through a homework problem set, touching this time on parabolic equations and their graphs, angular velocity, and logs/natural logs. With some practice and laid-out examples, the student was able to grasp the problems. With additional practice, he should be able to memorize the appropriate equations and apply them to novel situations. We will practice more tomorrow."

"The student's trigonometry test is tomorrow. The unit is mostly over word problems using trig functions and the Pythagorean theorem. While the math is easy, it is setting up the problem that proves to be more difficult. I practiced all the homework questions with Dennis and made him try to draw the picture for each problem. He did well."

"The student and I continued working on trig identities today, reviewing the Pythagorean identities and introducing the sum and difference identities. By the time we finished, he was at least feeling better about the material."

"The student and I decided to meet one more time before spring break just to make sure he's caught up on everything. He had a couple of algebra review assignments to finish up, so we worked through those. He was pretty good with everything - I just showed him the difference of cubes formula to save him the time of doing long division. He also had an assignment on proving trig identities, so I helped him with that. He knew that sin^2 + cos^2 = 1, but wasn't really comfortable with using that to re-write (1-cos^2) as sin^2, for example. And sometimes he'd try to apply it when the trig function wasn't squared. But I think some practice will take care of that. He did pretty well with the general strategy of rearranging one expression into another by factoring, finding common denominators, and using the standard identities. "

"Today the student and I discussed graphing trig functions. She felt like she understood sine and cosine already, so we focused on graphing tangent. In particular, we looked at how to determine where the asymptotes occur by figuring out where cosine of x is zero. Then, we did some practice problems looking at how the period or starting point can change when different numbers are used in the equation. After doing practice, she felt a lot better about this subject. For the last few minutes of the session, we discussed what she is learning in her physics class. They are learning about momentum and how it is conserved. We did some problems involving objects starting together at rest and then moving apart, and used conservation of momentum to calculate the velocity of the objects. "

"The student's session went pretty well, we continued to review trigonometric equations and identities from Chapter 5 and started algebraic equation solving from Chapter 7. The only section which presented any real trouble was identifying multiple solutions for trigonometric equations. This is something I will read more on and try to get supplemental help printed out for her before our next session. We did several practice problems and started preparing a study sheet for her to review for her exam next Thursday."

"Session went well. The student received his last exam back so he just wanted to go over the questions he got wrong on the test. We pretty much went over old material and are harmonic functions, mathematical modeling, inverse trig functions etc. No sign of struggle/lack of understanding."

"This was an extremely successful session for the student and I. She has a trigonometry test and a chemistry test coming up this week. She discussed sine and cosine wave equations further with her teacher, and the teacher clarified her questions as well as the questions the rest of the class had (none of them understood the concept), so we were able to move on to the subject of tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant graphs. We discussed asymptotes and the importance of the values of sin and cos at 0 degrees. We also reviewed phase change diagrams and I explained what happened at each phase as well as the difference between q=mC(delta)T and q=m(heat of vap/fus). The student was able to understand and explain these concepts to me."

"We covered a lot today. We did a complete review of inverse trig functions in preparation for his quiz retake tomorrow. He also did his trig homework on Degree-minute-second calculations. We also went over Act III of Macbeth, 1920's and 1930's domestic affairs for history, and edited an English Paper, and made a study guide for his Morality test."

"Today the student and I covered mostly identities and how to identify when to manipulate an equation and what identities to use. She has a good understanding of it and I think with more practice together, we will help her get a good grade."

"This was an intense session because there was much to do. The student had three tests the following day and we had to go through them and make sure we also completed the homework. At first when I came in, his mom was testing the student on his Macbeth test. As she was helping him. I made him a quiz for trigonometry. First, we decided to work on forensics. This entailed of going through all the notes and practice questions. As we went through the material, the student remained focused the whole time. He completed the practice quiz I had given him and did significantly well. Next we moved onto trigonometry. He wanted to take the quiz right away, but I advised we first go through the material. So we went through all the material and then had him take the quiz. He still had trouble on one of the topics, so I gave him additional problems. Overall it was a great session. And even with all this work on his plate, he still managed to keep his head high and stay focused. "

"The student is now working on probability, specifically when events are independent or dependent. I showed her how to draw out the entire tree and calculate the probability of every single outcome. She caught on to that idea, though needs to work on coming up with the process on her own. "
