"I reviewed fractions, division, and graphs with the student this week. She did well with the graph worksheet. She read the graph and added the columns and rows to calculate the answers to the questions. I also gave her a division worksheet where she reviewed basic math facts. The only one she missed was 36 divided by 9. Finally, we looked at Chapter 6 in her textbook, which she will be covering next week in math class. We worked with unlike fractions by changing them to equivalent fractions, and then she worked on writing fractions of a set. Next week we are not meeting, but we will continue the following week."

"The student and I went mainly over his Chapter 9 practice test, as well as assorted problems from his old tests and test retakes. He was very receptive to the example problems I created that were similar to his practice test, and was eager to use the notes that I took so that he could follow along while working on the actual problems. Overall, he is a very easy student to tutor, eager to learn, and was very open to my methods of explanation throughout the session."

"The student has exams coming up this week. She had a review sheet and a list of problems the teacher recommended as practice problems. We started from the beginning and worked through about 1/3 of the questions. She said she didn't want to jump around and touch on all the different chapters because her dad was planning to help her later and she would rather go in order. She seemed to struggle with remembering some of the earlier concepts and had a harder time working through some of the problems than she usually does--I'm guessing it is because the concepts weren't as fresh in her mind. We also went over an old test that she got an 80% on and worked through the questions she got wrong. I think she understood most of what we covered, but this session was slightly more challenging than those I typically have with her. "

"Today we were going over some math word problems, which is what this student struggles with. She doesn't read the question carefully, causing her to have a hard time figuring out what the question is asking. This is a huge problem because that is the main reason she gets the answer wrong. I showed her new ways and key words that will make it easier for her to figure out what it is she has to do. She has so much potential and I have a lot of faith in her because I know if she puts a little more effort and doesn't worry about how long the problem is, she will do amazing. We will continue to work on this issue. "

"Tonight, we were able to review the student's assignment on parametric equations. I also introduced how to graph parametric equations using a graphing utility. We then looked at the best methods to throw a football the farthest using parametric equations. The student did very well!"

"During our session, we went over the student's math assignment dealing with division using arrays and continuous subtraction. We also continued our introduction to order of operation. This is not meant to be mastered at this time; we are just introducing it so she can get used to the idea of order in math operations. "

"Today, the student and I worked on surface area and volume of 3D objects. He is a very instinctual worker. He had a positive attitude as always. We talked about the benefits of drawing out complicated problems. This was included in earlier sessions, but now since we're working with 3D figures, it is even more vital. She is more and more familiar with some of the complex problems and has no problem tackling new subjects. "

"The student and I continued to review for the AP Exam. We also specifically studied optimization problems and implicit differentiation. The free response problems we worked on had slope fields, a variety of graphs and their interpretations, and a related rates problem. "
