"The student completed his pre-calc project word problems which had us modeling sinusoidal functions from real-life situations. For the last two problems, he picked up much quicker on how to set them up, and I taught him a trick for using his graphing calculator to figure out the answer more quickly. We then completed the first 3 problems of his practice exam, which he understands very well."

"We went over two of the student's homework assignments. The first of which involved simplifying rational expressions by finding a common denominator. The second of which involved solving rational equations where a real life problem was proposed, and it was required to write a rational equation to model the situation."

"We reviewed fractions to decimals as pinpointed during last session as an area needing review. I taught the correlation between a unit circle and the trig functions, and an easy way to learn the sine, cosine, and tangent values for the common angles (0, 30, 45, 60, 90 ... 360 degrees and equivalent radians). I tested to ensure that she truly knew all of these while she was looking at unit circle. Eventually she will need to learn these without having a fully-labeled unit circle with degree/ radian values. "

"For this session, the student and I again focused exclusively on solving equations finding the domain and range of a function in terms of x and y. He mentioned that he understood how to find the domain of a function but still had a little difficulty on solving for the range of a function. We also focused on how to sketch graphs of a function and solving equations using independent and dependent variables. "

"The student had a test on Tuesday, so we went over the test review. It focused on finding the roots to polynomials, dividing polynomials by binomials, and completing the square. She seemed to understand synthetic division and how to find the roots of functions. "

"The student has a great attitude toward taking the necessary steps to plan out her paper well before the deadline. We reviewed the essay topic assignment sheet, then we selected an issue that was interesting to her. We did preliminary research on articles that spoke to a similar topic and created an outline for her paper. For next time, she will come with the notes from lecture and will have watched the film Taxi Driver on her own. We will continue constructing points and begin writing."

"We covered quadratic polynomials, imaginary numbers, and nonlinear inequalities. The student was intrigued and motivated towards all the material we reviewed. I included step-by-step processes, visual aids, and analogies in this session. I left him with extra practice on nonlinear inequalities. His quality score has gone up a full letter grade. He is doing very well in learning and understanding concepts in Algebra 2. His grade is showing his improvement too."

"We covered more metaphors, symbols, and motifs from a Tale of Two Cities, connecting each aspect of the book together. The student was eager to learn and get through the session. I asked the student to answer a few analysis questions to see if she felt confident about them. "

"For the first hour, I worked with Student A on math concepts, including some of the fraction problems and when to use estimation and when to write down the calculation vs. doing the math in his head. Then he did a few practice analogies after reviewing the strategies from last time. Then he did some reading comprehension practice questions. For the second hour, I worked with Student B on measuring angles with a protractor. First, he did a practice sheet with angles from a line and rays and we reviewed the concept of adjacent angles, and that angles will add to 180 degrees. Then the next sheet he measured angles of shapes. We talked about the rules of rectangles and squares (all 90 degrees), and triangles (will all add to 180), then how to determine which angle values to use based on whether the angle is acute or obtuse. He did well and really seemed to enjoy the activity because he finally understood how to do it."

"The student began with his math homework. He needed to write mixed numbers from both picture problems and word problems. He did a great job with this after a little review of the concept. We moved on to spelling and completed his entire spelling packet focused around compound words. We discussed what a hyphen was and sorted the words based on whether they were two words, one word, or words using a hyphen. In the end of our session, he successfully spelled all but 3 words aloud correctly! "

"I worked with both children today. Student A read a book and provided me with a summary of the book as well as his favorite part. I had him go through the entire book and write down all the words that he didn't know the meaning of (in order to practice vocabulary). He struggled with pronouncing some words -- I continued to teach him how to sound out words. Also, how to use context clues to figure out the meaning. Student B and I wrote another essay. The prompt related to Black History Month. She struggled with coming up a topic to write about. I taught her how to write down whatever ideas come to mind; then, narrow it down to which ideas interest her most. We reinforced formal versus informal writing, which she is doing a great job with as she progresses. "
