"The student and I practiced problems that use the product and quotient derivative rules. He needs a little more practice applying these rules to make them stick. He knows them, but he sometimes makes minor mistakes in recalling the formulas. During a couple of the practice problems that were intended to be solved using the quotient rule, the student picked up on a pattern that could be used to solve the problems more easily. That pattern was the chain rule, which hasn't been covered by the class. We discussed the definition of the chain rule and the formal technique for solving it. The last topic we covered was derivatives of trigonometric functions. Here, the student recognized that derivatives of trig functions lend themselves as common circumstances for applying the chain rule. We demonstrated the rules for taking the derivative of sines and cosines graphically and the rule for tangents using the quotient rule. He continues to excel in Calculus. He likes to know why theorems work, and he is quick to pick up on patterns."

"The student had a test on kinematics yesterday which evidently went well. So we began Newton's laws 1st-3rd. We worked through some simple introductory problems."

"We reviewed the material for the student's math test tomorrow on conic sections. The material was relatively new. We focused on breaking down the problems into manageable pieces. I made sure to circle all the important formulas to be memorized, so his solid math skills should carry him through!"

"We started working on the review sheets for the student's final exam. We practiced using simple substitution to integrate definite and indefinite integrals, working with the hyperbolic trig functions, solving simple separable differential equations, identifying slope fields, solving exponential decay functions, calculating the area between curves, and finding the volumes of solids of revolution around various axes. The student was a little rusty on most of the calc 1 review topics and the first topics of the semester, but he's remembering more of the later topics pretty well. We will be finishing up the review sheet the morning before the exam."

"In this session, the student and I did a review of his full length practice test. He has exceeded profoundly in the quantitative section and the reading section has improved greatly. He still seems to be struggling the most with the verbal section. I recommended that he continue to make flashcards of new words and the root words, and in addition he should review the verbal flashcards on the internet application. I suggested that he focus on determining the relationship types in the analogy portion and to avoid being tricked by answer choices by coming up with his own answer first. His great improvements in math and reading have given us time to focus on improving in the verbal section."

"Today, we covered binomial theorem concepts. We worked on all sorts of different cases for higher order expansions as well as identified individual terms and coefficients without having to complete the entire expansion. The student was able to grasp the concept very well. The session went very smoothly, and he was able to complete every problem on his own with little to no guidance by the end of the session. "

"The student and I worked on fraction word problem with mixed operations. She has been working on ratios in school, and has forgotten how to do some of the fraction operations now. We will continue to work on that. "

"I gave the student two related-rates problems from my notes to go over procedures in solving problems involving the cone formula and rates of change of angles. We also practiced integration by substitution - these problems included various combinations of polynomials, square roots, e^x and trig functions."

"We covered percentages and polynomials. The student seems to have a general understanding of all the concepts but gets certain concepts confused. As the sessions progress, he seems to grasp the concepts better. We will continue working on subjects he is having trouble on, aiming for understanding the material in a fluid way. In other words, I would like him to be able to recall basic concepts more readily and consistently throughout sessions. "

"The student and I started with a short story that he read aloud, and then answered questions accompanying the story. We also worked on more vowel sounds regarding short a and long a. Many of our stories in today's section centered around sign language, so I taught him how to spell his name in sign language. In addition, he and I went over parts of a book such as the title page and the table of contents. He also worked on spelling of new words that I would classify as difficult words for his age. "

"We went over lots of examples of completing the square, dealing with negative exponents, equation for circle, imaginary numbers, word problems, solving for variables, and more problems to prepare for the Algebra final. "
