The student showed me her test from last week, on which she scored an 90%. We reviewed the problems she missed, and she verbalized her understanding of her mistakes. We then reviewed material that she will be tested on this week. She identified the areas that are hardest for her, so we worked on those problems together. We did take a "brain break" and I introduced her to a quick reset exercise for her brain. After we had reviewed chapter vocabulary, I gave her a 6 question quiz from my math resources, and she was able to complete all but one successfully. We talked about the problem she struggled with, and she identified the mistake. I reviewed test taking strategies with her again, and asked her to keep a list of concepts / lessons that challenged her for our next session.

The student has a test coming up this week, so he wanted to review the sections that will be on the exam, particularly solving inequalities using addition and subtraction. He knows how to solve the inequalities, but he tends to have some difficulty when adding and subtracting negative numbers. He makes small errors in calculation. Graphing the solutions is something he does well in, so he just needs to practice using negative numbers.

The student and I covered circles, arc length, sector area, triangles, slopes of lines, equations of lines, and coordinate geometry. He initially had a hard time with the concept of slope, but he asked good clarifying questions. By the end, he had fully understood the concept and how to apply it to many kinds of problems. Other aspects of the other topics, or some analog of them, were more familiar to him, and once he connected it to a topic he already knew, he was able to perform the problems fluently.
