"I worked with the student on his math homework. Their current unit is plotting in Cartesian coordinates and finding equations of lines, mainly finding the slopes. He had a good bit of difficulty with some of the basics of this concept, including switching his x- and y- coordinates when plotting. He understood which was which, but didn't think before plotting. He also struggled with understanding slope in general-- specifically with the concept of rise = change in y, run = change in x. When given two points, he was unsure about how to continue to actually find the slope. When given a slope, he had difficulty plotting points. He also still struggles with addition and subtraction of negative numbers. After we completed his homework review, we spent some extra time going over a prior quiz on slopes and line equations that he had struggled with. We went over every point he got off and did some extra examples on the side, and he proved to me that he understood what he had done wrong."

"We talked about graphing basic rational functions by finding their important characteristics, such as the domain, range, x-intercepts, y-intercepts, horizontal asymptotes, vertical asymptotes, and general shape. The most challenging part was determining the basic shape once all of the other information had been determined. Often, it involves testing multiple points, or it can involve testing to see whether the function as a whole is positive or negative by examining the product of its factors. The important thing is to be sure to check your results, because different graphs can have widely disparate shapes. "

"The student spent this time taking his algebra test (he got an A!). While he was taking his test, I made solution sheets for the chapter 11 sections 1-3 problems that I assigned him from the book (we haven't started talking about that chapter, so he shouldn't do those yet). I also added concepts from chapter 22 and the beginning of 23 in science that he should make note cards for. I also went through the note cards that he had already made, and made note of which needed to be rewritten or improved upon."

"We went over a couple questions on the student's semester review worksheet, mainly on application questions on finding maximum values, compound interest, half-life, and series. We reviewed what variables meant for the various equations and how to use the given information to plug in values. We went over how to set up a series with sigma notation and solved a word problem using them. We also went over logarithms and their rules. I believe he will do well now that he understands the material!"

"The student and I reviewed homework that covered implicit differentiation, using implicit diff. to find the derivative and the second derivative, as well as finding the tangent line using implicit diff. She practiced implicit differentiation in conjunction with the product, quotient, and chain rule."

"Went over electron configurations and how to write longhand and shorthand configurations. Went over how to do basic ionic and covalent bonds, double and triple bonds, and the generalities of the octet rule. I left the student with a worksheet to work on to help in the meantime and gave instructions on what to look over in preparation for the next meeting. She seems to grasp the concepts, and we are going to try to work on the conceptual lessons."

"Today we reviewed chapter 5 and the beginning of chapter 7 in the textbook. We also covered a complex disease problem. Student understood the concepts and formulas of sample proportions but needs more help with the disease probability problem. We tried to review as much as possible so that he is prepared to do well on the upcoming midterm. "

"Today, the student and I covered rotations of conic functions and binomial probability distributions. First we did an example where we rotated a conic function. We recalled the formula for the angle of rotation from the coefficients in the function. We then used the angle to write our variables x and y in terms of new variables x' and y'. He mentioned that they have formulae for computing the new coefficients as well, but he wasn't sure if they could use them on the final. Thus, we just plugged in our x and y formulas to find our new equation in terms of x' and y'. He definitely seemed to understand the methodology quite well. Next, we did a probability question. We recalled the binomial distribution formula and used it to compute a probability regarding coin flips. He understood this example very well too. We will meet again next Sunday. "
