"The student and I completed a one hour session, practicing basic operation and fraction concepts. We worked up in levels until he found a challenging division and fraction level. His confidence in Mathematics is high and he is always excited for a challenge. We also played math games to help solidify his understanding in the review concepts. "

"The student had a lot of science homework. He did pages 19 to 25. It was all balancing equations and knowing products. He did all of this really well."

"The student and I finished covering the chapter on radicals by reviewing problems he struggled with at home regarding operations with radicals. Additionally, we covered complex numbers (including complex conjugates) to round out the last part of the chapter. Once we went through the lesson together, it wasn't quite as difficult as he had thought. Conceptually, it is a bit strange as working with imaginary numbers as opposed to real numbers borders on the theoretical, but in spite of this, he had no problem going through the sample problems and explanations."

"We worked on sections 5.2 and 5.3 this session. It covered Riemann Sums, finding the area between two curves, and estimating area under a curve using geometric area equations. We will pick up where we left off tomorrow."

"I worked with the student on science and math. With the science, I we reviewed some important definitions about sound. I then moved on to math--equivalent fractions."

"The concepts that we covered specifically were reviewing parts of a circle, how to calculate arc length and sectors, differentiating between formula of perimeter and area, diameter/ chord theorem, tangent/ chord theorem, intersecting chords, and inscribed angles inside circles. The student needed help with using parts of the circle to determine information that can be used in a problem. Again, she was engaged and inquisitive in solving the problems. She also participates rigorously. Strategies or study skills included were to study the parts of the circle very well, learn to use previous knowledge to find information needed, and to practice different problems on the same concept. I left her extra practice. I emailed several practice sheets as well as how-to sheets."

"Today the student worked on his math homework and we discussed absolute value in depth. He then completed his worksheet for social studies. He will be making notecards for social studies and science on his own. We will be finishing his project, beginning his reading project, and going over vocab words on Tuesday. "

"The student and I spent the entire session playing a math learning game that focused on her multiplication and division skills. I used flashcards to create a playing board. We took turns rolling a dice and moving that many cards. Each time a player landed on a card she had to give the correct answer to the math problem to get a point. If the player could not get the correct answer, the other player had a chance to answer the problem and get the point. She likes this game and we have played it several times before. I can see an improvement in her multiplication and division skills. "

"We went over numerous problems that the student had questions on for solving quadratics using factoring, completing the square, and the quadratic formula. In addition, we worked on graphing without a calculator by finding the vertex, line of symmetry, and the zeros. The student did a great job for only being a verbal session. "

"The student's mom and I talked for a while about how long she's been having difficulties and with what subjects, and then the student and I worked through a review of some of her homework. Mom's main concern is that the student may have missed some fundamentals along the way and is now having difficulty with complex concepts because of it, but her immediate hope is that we can bring the student's test scores up in the last four weeks of her math class and make sure she doesn't fall any further behind. The student seemed to understand the current material fairly well, but she also thought the current lesson was a little easier than some of the other lessons, so that may not be representative of her feelings about the class. Overall, I think we made some good progress (building rapport if nothing else), and I'm optimistic about the student's ability to master the basics fairly quickly. "

"The student and I worked on some current concepts from her Math class. Specifically, we went over how to determine missing measurements using the relationships among central angles, inscribed angles, and the arcs they intercept. This was also a review of radii, chords, and tangents in circles. Once she was able to complete her homework, we went over a few problems that she had been confused on in class. She now demonstrates a good understanding of how to answer these types of problems. "
