"Today I worked on areas of geometric figures including triangles, squares, rhombus and trapezoids. The student finished her homework for Wednesday. So far she has been required to apply the area formulas without much complication. I thought she would struggle when she had to compare figures but that wasn't the case at all. Initially she was a bit shaky but by the end she felt confident that she knew the material pretty well."

"We continued working on the end of course review packet that the student's teacher gave them. We made it through all but the last 6 pages. There's only ~3 questions on each page, so he said that he'd be able to finish them on his own tonight. This was a good warm up with his final exam approaching in a few weeks time."

"The student and I discussed his post-lab assignment for the Alka Seltzer lab. He was required to analyze the data he generated and answer questions that related to his data. As a good exercise, I had him generate a bar graph using his computer and the Excel program. He was unfamiliar with the process, so I guided him through it. He is now somewhat proficient in Excel bar graphs. :)"

"We reviewed writing in detail and math in moderation. Areas to note for improving the student's writing score: 1.) Subject-verb agreement 2.) Subject-object agreement 3.) Comparisons in sentences 4.) General essay writing (writing the most effective essay possible)"

"Today, we ran descriptive statistics on a large set of data in SPSS. We worked on problems where we had to calculate a z score for a particular x score on figure out the area under the curve that was greater or less than the x value. We also worked on a problems involving cumulative probability."

"We discussed point slope equations, how to graph equations, how to convert between "y=mx+b" and point slope, and how to graph absolute value equations. Things the student should be sure to remember for his test include: If you multiply or divide one part of an algebraic equation, you have to do the same operation on all parts! You can only add like variables! Parallel lines have the same slope (like the 'l's in parallel). Perpendicular lines have negative, reciprocal slopes. For graphing absolute value equations-- set what is inside the bars ( |this| ) equal to zero. That is your vertex. Draw a dot there. Next, plug in the numbers surrounding that vertex to get the shape of your graph."

"The focus for this session was reading. The student read various fiction and nonfiction texts, focusing on comprehension strategies. She did a very good job retelling and identifying important details in the fiction text. We are still working on summarizing nonfiction using the main or big idea based on the heading; however, she has improved since the last time we practiced this skill. We will continue to work on this during our next tutoring session. I left some materials for her to practice with until then. "

"Today we covered some topics that gave the student trouble in the past related to systems of equations and partial fraction decompositions (PFD). We began with going over and breaking down how to set up a PFD problem for different cases. We also covered word problems of linear programming and systems of inequalities. This was probably the toughest part of the session for the student. She doesn't have a problem with her mathematical ability, but rather the ability to dissect a word problem and set up an algebraic problem from it. This will require more practice, but I believe we made some strides today. Finally, we went over some matrix operations and she had no problem with it. She was very receptive and responsive to my teaching methods. "

"During this session, the homework given in class over the past week was reviewed in preparation for the next day's quiz. Topics included applied calculus (critical points and max/ mins) and basic geometric equations."

"There have been changes in curricula. The student is doing trigonometry, which is before calculus. We worked on trigonometry identities. She has a good attitude. She just needs more confidence, which comes from working problems. "

"We continued to cover complete factoring using the box and diamond method the student's teacher had instructed her to use. We spent most of our time doing problems that only had two terms, instead of the three we were used to. She struggled with this initially, but she started to get the hang of things after we did a few problems. I noticed she grasps the content best when we work step-by-step and focus on problems with similar practices problems as they come up. "
