"I worked with the student on exponents rules and operations utilizing the rules, multiplying and dividing exponents with like bases, as well as the zero power rule and the power rules (raising powers to powers). One rule we worked on extensively was how to rewrite the expression when the power is a fraction and then reducing it. "

"The student's class is now multiplying fractions by whole numbers. She was absent when her teacher taught this lesson, so I showed her how to do it using examples. We made a list of steps to go through, and she used this list to complete her homework assignment on multiplying fractions. "

"This evening, we started by logging on to look at the student's current grades. He is passing overall in both math and science, but his Q4 grades are failing for both math and science. We looked at some assignments that were low, and talked about the possibility of revising - he said we will continue to bring home revisions if possible in either class. One of his major assignments is due on Friday in math and is a project that he collected data for in class. We worked together to create a frequency table for this data; he then found the mean, median, mode, IQR, lower/upper bounds, and outliers for this data. Before continuing the project, he must get it approved by his teacher tomorrow. We had some time left to complete a science quiz revision (I am very proud of him for working on revisions as soon as he gets them back). I told him that this is crunch time and he needs to do everything he can to bring his grade up before the quarter ends!"

"Today I introduced the student to the concept of box-and-whisker plots, her next concept to be covered. We did a few visual conceptual problems, and I think that with more exposure the ideas will cement."

"We covered angle and perpendicular bisectors of a triangle. We also covered upper and lower limit of the angles in a pair of congruent triangles. The student seems to understand the concepts. I created practice problems which we solved during the session and we went a little further than the materials covered in class."

"Today, Student A had practice work for her geometry test later this week. She had a little trouble translating visual problems into equations, but with a little more practice she will be fine. Student B had a review over the evolution unit in his biology class."

"We worked through the student's online class, going over congruency, similarity, and transformations. We also finished her quiz on angles and basic geometry concepts. We will work on finishing up the class and reviewing in the upcoming weeks. "

"For this session I worked with the student on creating arguments and building a complete essay to support a thesis. We practiced a few logic exercises and read through affirmative and negative sides of a debate question. He did very well in discerning between opinions and factual evidence, as well as judging which arguments were better executed. I think with more practice in brainstorming and outlining, he will definitely be able to master getting to an argument quickly and creating a well-developed essay."

"The student and I did review for his chemistry test. We reviewed balancing equations, acid + base reactions, determining products, working with solubility, net ionic equations, using H+ to find pH and vice versa, and other related topics that pertained to what would be on his test. "

"The student and I reviewed more of his vocabulary words and how to imbed them into his writing. I then had him read a nonfiction text and respond to an essay prompt, asking him to compare and contrast the topics in the reading passage. He did very well at this, and his use of introductions to introduce the topic and entice his reader are improving greatly. "

"We practiced working with Taylor series and modifying a known Taylor series to generate the Taylor series of a new function with the same center. We also went through finding the radius and interval of convergence for a power series and using the Taylor series to easily take derivatives of our function. We also reviewed how to test the endpoints for a finite interval of convergence. We reviewed working with parametric functions and reducing a rational function to find where it equals zero and get rid of any extraneous solutions. Lastly, we reviewed how to find the value of a geometric series by finding the first term and the ratio. The student is doing well with generating a Taylor and Maclaurin series using the formula with the derivatives of a function, and she is doing better using a known series and modifying it. She is also doing better working with series in general. "
