"On Tuesday, the student and I spent the session reviewing a worksheet in preparation for his test. On the worksheet were problems related to plotting transformations of trigonometric functions, identifying trigonometric functions, and using the unit circle to solve complex trigonometric functions. "

"The student and I reviewed most of chapter 2 of his text book, which was over adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing rational numbers. He is pretty comfortable with this material because he saw it last year, so I don't envision him having many problems going forward. We will just be sure to review his homework over the next few weeks and prepare for the next exam. He is doing a great job."

"The student worked on her math homework. She had 3 digit addition and subtraction and rounding. She had a little trouble with the rounding. She tended to confuse rounding to the 10th and 100th place. We will work on rounding more next week if needed. Next we played a math game with cards. We took turns drawing a card from the pile, then we named what numbers, when summed, equaled the number of the card we drew. She enjoyed this game and it showed that her addition skills have improved since we first started the tutoring."

"Last session, we introduced radians, so we continued the discussion into trig values at different angles. We first derived the unit circle (which allows memorization or special trig values easier) by using special right triangles. The unit circle helped us visualize the graphical form of trig functions and made their periodical nature evident. We learned to find the trig ratio given an angle value and also learned the opposite which was finding an angle given a trig ratio. Sine and cosine are fairly straightforward, so we focused on the other four trig functions when practicing to determine angles from trig values. Lastly, we learned to find the other five trig function values, given one trig value. We did this by sketching a triangle using the given trig value and the Pythagorean theorem. Once the triangle sides were determined, the six trig values could easily be determined. "

"Today, we reviewed the Trapezoid Rule, the First and Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and the average of a function. We also looked at tricks for integration, trigonometric integrals, and area under the curve. The student showed great progress today!"

"The student and I reviewed the fundamental theorem of algebra and worked on polynomial functions. He finished homework where he had to find non real zeros, irrational zeros, and rational zeros of a polynomial. He used factoring by grouping, synthetic and polynomial long division to factor polynomials."

"We worked on using imagination with writing prompts. The student tends to be very literal, so we imagined how to use his interests and passions with several different writing prompts. We also worked on how to incorporate some of the vocabulary terms he has been working hard to learn. Then, we worked on answering upper level thinking questions in reading and verbal."

"Student A's lesson included information on tessellation, which she was able to give a great definition for. She got a lot of division practice during this lesson, which she has nearly mastered. Student B's lesson provided him with a ton of fraction practice. I can see that he's remembering the rules for fractions much more. Student C continues to work with fractions and converting them to decimals and percentages. He is really doing well with this skill. "

"We caught up on daily life, household, language practice events, and explored how the book club members responded to the book. The online exchange gives us a chance to work on meaning and pronunciation. The student has signed up for a book website and we will pick some books to listen to and discuss when we meet. I invited her to read two chapters in another book and we will review it on Friday. The sessions are going very well, and the student is a very dedicated and determined student."

"The student and I covered the topics for her next exam. We covered the force on a current carrying wire, if two parallel wires are attracted or repelled if the currents are in the same or opposite direction. We also covered a little of the Doppler effect: if the source of a wave is moving, it affects the frequency of the wave. We also went over the relation of velocity of a wave to Snell's law and the relation of wavelength to frequency (index of refraction equals the speed of light in vacuum divided by the velocity of light in a medium), and some concepts such as paramagnets (materials become magnetized in a magnetic field, the spins align to the field). She has a good grasp of the concepts when there is time to digest the full meaning. There are many difficult and very different concepts in one section, and she just needs a deeper explanation. We'll work on this in our next session. "

"Went over chi squared testing. We first went over its purpose and how it relates to other significance tests. We then went through the process of constructing the hypothesis and going through the formula for calculating chi squared. She had a little trouble calculating expected values, but after some practice she got the hang of it. We then went over the different types of testing and how to identify when to use one. We ended the session going over problems and practicing the entire process. "
